Why It Matters



Why does it matter? 


A question seldom asked. 


Just follow the rules of the 


boss, society, culture, family…


To step back give an idea time 


  for thought, 


    for consideration,  


      to speak to the inside person 


who wants to be heard


It does matter!

  

 The special turn of phrase  

  

the manner of a hug. 


  the voice that speaks and laughs

    

is only yours.


“Never forget the essence of your spark!”

~ Taylor Swift

The Normal of Now



Riding waves of nostalgia 

seems never to end 

  tiring, 

    exhausting 

This metaphor of being 

   washed up on a beach 

   in this winter weather 

       is a tricky one ~

but it does feel 

   warm and gritty.

As the surf dies down, 

    life returns to the normal of now.


“The present moment is all you ever have. 

There is never a time when your life is not “this moment”.”

~ Eckart Tolle, The Power of Now:
