Life
Life begins and ends one moment at a time.
Live in the moment, not enslaved to the past
and thinking the future will be some magical cure.
Laugh your hardest until your insides shake.
Let love leave it's sweetest ache.
Dare to live greatly.
Inevitable that the heart will have breaks.
Having not lived my life will not be my mistake.

Dare to live greatly.
Inevitable that the heart will have breaks.
Having not lived my life will not be my mistake.
Author's Note
" Daring greatly" is a concept by the amazing Brene Brown. Reading her changed my life.
Just a short ode to life as I'm struggling to stay above water.

A very thought provoking & at times, heartbreaking piece. I'm glad you mention the future there, Debbie. I too have been worrying about it cos I don't think that utopian dream where robots do our work & we get the paycheck is gonna work, right? There will be widespread famine everywhere, wars will break out as the food shortages bite. Don't get me started on climate change! I wrote one about it recently too. Sorry to be so doom & gloom but it's only because of what I've been hearing & it's a view I agree with. I also agree with you that living in the moment is something we should all embrace because it's all we have. 😊

I do feel the doom of our world.
But without hope there is nothing. I appreciate your passion to preserve the beauty of our earth. And to promote positive change.
Thx for reading and stopping"by". Lol

I’m a fan of reflecting, and this piece of reflection shows you in your strength and vulnerability as much as any nature metaphor. Your adherence to the moment is lovely. Keep pushing this bar, you have a lot of beautiful shit in you.

Thank you Betty. I don't feel very beautiful sometimes. I'm in a very ugly situation and I'm trying my ever so hardest to have grace &strength.
I appreciate you always reading what I write. It means so much to me. 💜

'' Life begins and ends one moment at a time.

I can't tell you how much
this here has always been the axiom of my soul
So many people wanna internalize
and nurse every trauma
like it's their favorite drink while life passes
them by.
much respect indeed

Through much darkness I have learned to live in the light of the moment. Be present. I'm so glad you stopped by and it resonated.
Have a great night. 🌙

I've never heard of her. New artist to add to the library. Any suggestions to dive in? Also, yes to your whole message. Investments for the future and time served, it seems, are circumstances fate is indifferent to. Noice

Re: Re. Life
Hi! I like what you said about fate being indifferent to future investments and time served. Alot of people don't realize that. While a person is wallowing or daydreaming, life is passing them by. For my situation, with my mom's illness, staying in the moment is survival for my sanity.
Thank u for reading & appreciate your comments
Brene Brown writes on self help - her book Daring Greatly inspired me. But it's not for everyone, lol

Yes ma'am. The will to live another day is deeply unappreciated, especially in those whom do not find this easy for various reasons. I am happy to hear you have found happiness in the simple things. I'm not a self help reader, but I'm always excited for new reading material, so I'll check it out. Thanks lady.

The author's concept is kind of go out there, be vulnerable, get in the arena of life, don't stand back on the sidelines. I never liked self help books either....until I started reading them, lol. Totally reset my mind frame.
