Life Just Is:

Life is a collection of moments,

flabbergasted to be in each other’s presence.

The mistake is to believe that because then happened,

now is not.

A continuum of actions and predestined reactions,

create the world in which we live.

The mistake is to believe that because these laws control our physical actions,

that our free will is therefore restricted.

Evolution has taken its path and has created,

but what we create with what has been given,

that is life.

To breathe, to maintain a steady pattern,

to continually maintain the equilibrium between mind and body:

one’s shell, and one’s soul.

To accept one’s world and life so completely,

the affirmation of one’s life,

so unqualified and reckless,

that it amounts to total denial of every restriction and limitation.

Do not allow yourself to be swept along,

we are all co-authors of this magical exuberance,

and, as the pattern becomes more intricate,

to join the ride is no longer sufficient.

The ride does not require explanation,

and occupancy isn’t the key:

Life is once more, and once again, and forever,

the key is simply to remain in a constant state of departure,

while always arriving.
