Can I
Live
In your
Moment?
I want to
Learn
Focus on my now
Learning to live in the moment
We try to relay
what we see
or seem to see
through the
smudged
frosted
or
fogged-up
windows
or
casements
between us

Seeing what we
see or seem
to see may
seem
delightful
or
troubling
at
times

but it's
all about
the inclination
of
wanting
and even
needing
to
see
the
truth

or truths
of what we all are
deep down inside
and trying to
at least be
a piece of the
puzzle
that can
aid the
receptive
listener
or reader
in
seeing

a bit more
of who they are
and who we are
in the picture
of our lives
and in the
wider picture
of life
and
living
in
a
volatile
and
complex
world

We need to keep
 testing the waters
 and acclimate.

communication has been great on HP! It brings world's together.
And, of course this includes true friends in our personal lives.
Strength to hold us up in
mind, spirit, and beyond.
When you see a man,
Twisted and worn,
Hold your tongue,
Sheath your scorn,

Those living in darkness, grow toward the light.
The universe, in all its mystery, throws us together.

We look at lives of pain and suffering. We share the joy of beauty and caring.

There is no doubt we all come from one blood, above and beyond and through life's journey.

Blood flow is the life, the soul, the very being and the core of who we truly are.

The embrace of kindred and kind takes us deeper, and our pulse is regulated to the heartbeat of life.

When the earth shakes in temper and the bruisers come we are thrown for a moment by the brutal thunder.

After the lightning strikes and the rain comes to wash away tears, its coolness is like a balm.

Remember to exhale and listen, and fall into the heartbeat of kind, empowered by the lifeblood love
A friend having a difficult time, said to me that are the same blood group in relation to how we see and experience the world. I like the metaphor of blood in relation to the spectrum of himan diversity and facing the challenges of being.

Birds, Herds, and Herbs converge,
Within weeds and trees-- some evergreens,
These roisterous worlds, a wonderous sight!
The flume of art and the womb of life.

But what if I were to say,
This rite has grown dull,
For the true beauty,
Lies in your soul.

Indeed! It's true! You're full of hue,
A teeming world resides in you!
Your body, mind, all shaped by time,
Host to shine of different designs,
Friends, foes, and fair alike,
Within your bounds, have made a life.

So know this well, embrace the view--
The universe is part of you!

I wanted this to be weirder because Immunology is my field of study and I need to convey how emotional it makes me, but this'll have to do for now.
You are an ecosystem!

When did we stop wanting to become a firefighter
When did we stop wanting to become a police man
When did we stop wanting to be someone great

When did we stop dreaming
When did we stop fighting
When did we start settling with the easy option
When did we stop ...
When did we stop ...
When did we stop living

Food and sleep to stay alive.
Medications to stay stable.
Friends to stay happy.
Love to start living.

What is living? Is it the opposite of dead?
No, that’s survival. Is it eating, and sleeping?
No, that’s being alive. Living is different.
Living is choosing to do those other things for an ultimate concern.
Living is doing more than those things
to experience your life to the fullest capacity possible.
