No time like the present Tallen...let's go find them.

I was getting ready to be sad and You just now caused me to smile!!

(You have a Gift)

thank You

I know where my Family (what's left of 'em) is.
Maybe I'll give my Mom a call and ask if I can visit this weekend.

My goal is to cause a ripple. Give a smile, perform an act of kindness, say hello to brighten someone's day. In return they will give kindness or smile to someone else and the ripple will build and build all around the world.

Keep on keeping on, Brother!

Daily my goals are
Learn something new
and or do something nice for a stranger
I think I'll be adding
cause someone to smile

It is the little things in life that make up the true happiness.

I try the pay it forward approach too, Tim. It never hurts!!

Go see your Momma young man!!

I am.......gotta make up for time lost.
Plus, I am the only one who plays with her cat
when i visit -- LOL

You know some pervs around here are going to really twist that Tallen.  Whoops! I think she just did!!

You're gonna have to help me out on this as
often
i don't understand what You mean (like now)

my mindset is in a different tunnel
envisioned

Holy CRAP You've got a twisted mind!!
But explained via PM
Yeah, agree, i could see readers reading into
it that way
ESPECIALLY  readers from the UK because lots of their words don't mean the same as here in the U.S.

I got into so much trouble (or laughed at) when I'd
be chatting with that woman from Scotland and her pals.

You knew my mind was twisted the first day you talked to me. Sorry, I'll be a good girl!

Yeah i did...
it's why i attempted to refer You to others who might understand and interact with You better
than my poor excuse for interaction ever could

; )

thank You for the read

I've met the Grim Reaper, twice
and each time i was told............
not yet.

I long to hear the response,
Yes, Tallen,
now.   <3

appreciate Your comments

There are no certainties in life...we gotta live fully present in every moment. Not save it for "the perfect moment"...it could be right now. Like the message here.   :-)

...Willow

Often when we get old (and not realize we are the old)
we hang onto the shit of pain, regret and waiting for apologies or forgiveness......

not willing to make the first move
the first outstretched hand of .........
let us talk about it.

It's exactly like this, Willow  <3

Great write & such truth. Easier said than done. Hope you got out T allen. Hugs

thank You

I will get out

I used to visit my Mom on a regular basis before my younger brother moved in with her and now that he's gone i get to renew the practice

All the above and good write ... Bless and love ... ..

appreciate the read
reads
and share

no time like the present for an existential crisis, no?  
this one suits my present mood wonderfully, i have a milestone birthday swift approaching and well, the crisis is strong in me ...  
... i do believe it so vital tho, frustrating as it is, to worry and not always be in the now,  
moments ov query & reflection are as important as letting go  
[much unsolicited opinion here]  
my dissertation aside, i loved this_  
unsure why it made me think ov aging with alzheimer’s… but yes, that’s where my mind went ….  
forgetting & forgotten

apologies for my maudlin on your page  
i was moved.  

with love

ps the title... tiny gods... the title is a stroke of genius, macabrely beautiful...  the images ov neglect & afterthought associated with those two words alone is quite a punch to the gut

No need to ever apologize when sharing with me for I delight when I can draw movement and stir emotions in others -- especially spillers of ink.

I appreciate You reading and sharing with me.
thank You

Honored the the RL add

Titles for my spills are important to my writing as i try to make the title a part of the poem not as a label.  Appreciate this share, as well.

always but i don't see me as brave
rather
a Free Spirit

When it's my time to go
i just want my being to be at peace
so no negative energies follow me

thank You for sharing Your thoughts with me

Hmm..i feel a deep regret after reading this...my gookum(grandmother) is in care and it is hard...anyways nice write bud

I used to work in a convalescent hospital and worked for some aged who never -- not once while they were under my care -- were visited by  family or friend.  
 
I tried to provide compassionate care to each individual on the floor I was responsible for.  
 
It's really tough  
especially when WE FEEL (Decide) when we believe our time spent is no longer quality time.  
 
My latter statement always takes me back to about 4 years in San Diego,  CA where after work everyday I'd visit my cousin who was in a coma and the medical staff didn't know if she'd recover from the surgery given to remove the tumor.  
 
I had NO idea if she'd be OK but kept going in hopes she might be.  I read my crappy poems and other stuff to her and sometimes sing.  
 
I never even thought that it was a waste of time. . .  
and now in retrospect?  
Nope  
I still don't think it was a waste of (my) time.

appreciate the read and share
and spurring me to recall memories

thank You

Wow, this is a view from the tomb!

All USABLE time embodies itself in each fleeting second of the present, and nowhere else.
Yesterday too late and tomorrow too early, to make a difference where love is instant life.

Well said.

cab

a reminder that we actually don't have all the time in the world in our corporeal form

always appreciate Your reads and share on my spills

thank You
