Cared about, I still felt lost, then
I looked to my feet. I knew that
only I could direct them
where and when I would go
in this day and time of mine.
My wandering mind took me to
places filled with shining promise
along with stories I told myself
until I shaded in colours of reality,
mixed with dreams I hold dear.
“We are such stuff as dreams are made on,
and our little life is rounded with a sleep.”
~ William Shakespeare, The Tempest
Entertainment for us comes in all forms
~ a walk in the park on a gentle evening
to flickering characters on a screen,
time travel between the covers of a book
the slap and cheer of hockey or soccer
fingers caressing the octaves of a piano,
or the swirl and twirl of a waltz……
Each of them directing us
out of the dailiness of life
and into joy, release and fun.
“Once a person has all the things they need to live,
everything else is entertainment.”
~ Neal Stephenson, author
Reversal of direction
time to pause
space to breathe
time to refocus
space for renewed energy.
“The greatest pleasure in life is
doing what people say you cannot do.”
~ Walter Bagehot,
journalist, economist and essayist
