Committed to life is
not an easy thing
if you think about it.
We are each handed
life at the moment of conception;
no handbook,
no road map just:
here you are wherever here is,
floating about in a watery bliss.
No knowledge of
flowers or trees,
sun or shade,
the push and pull of society.
Expected to grasp at life, or not.
The first of many choices that
will be tossed our way. Sometimes
too quickly to warrant decent consideration.
But we go on,
with little success or a lot,
but committed to a singular goal.
Which may be
what’s for dinner,
or shall we see a movie tonight,
or perhaps climb the social ladder.
On the best days it will be
to wake up and smell the coffee,
or walk a cobbled path lined with flowers,
help someone cross the street.
Oh yes, commitment to life is
not an easy thing, but can be
filled joy,
fun and
as many good things as there unpleasant.
That’s life.
“I will find comfort in the rhythm of the sea.”
~ Charlotte Eriksson, Swedish author
