“ What better way to tell time than through the body of content.”
This quote was based on a suggestion made by Michelangelo, from the book: The Agony and Ecstasy (author Irving Stone).
A good thought to keep in mind. Especially when frustrated by the rapid passage of time. Can you relate?
We will not be remembered [...]

…evil!
Deep, suffocating fears.
Lingering doubts.
Memories, old and tarnished. Those that serve no purpose.
Our enemies.
Sometimes just:
This day… hour… or moment in time.
Conquer!
hold tight
stand firm
or move beyond.

Be Still…
when life is overwhelming
waves of heartaches and obstacles
litter the long path ahead
just, be still
hold on
listen to the small but resonant voice
the way to inner calm
and clarity regained
take the time
close the door
the noise and
muddled voices
will still be there
upon your return
it is never the wrong time
to heed this unfailing truth
nurtured and safely stowed
unscathed [...]

nowhere
to run
nothing
to fear
the lure
always there
from the other side
velvet curtains
lightly embrace, on three sides
softly
enveloping
comforting
voices muted
words faintly heard
suspended in
the charged/changed atmosphere
the warmth
remembering the warmth
of welcoming arms
energy field
crackling in the night
reach out to touch, to hold
in this brief moment
we will still
share this earth
for a lifetime
and more
they are with us
in our dreams and beyond
never [...]

Sometimes…the runner stumbles.
Just before the finish line.
The long-awaited goal ahead.
In plain view.
A bitter moment.
A loss, this time.
Sometimes…the runner stumbles.
In life and on the burning pavement.
Feet touch down.
Another mile comes and goes.
Dreams too, that we reach for.
And some, we never gain.
Sometimes…the runner stumbles.
We pick ourselves up, dust ourselves off.
Life is a marathon.
Twists and hazards along the way.
Win [...]

“Smile.. though your heart is aching. Smile..even though it’s breaking.”
Do we ever really know what hides behind a smile?
Lifting the frown lines from gravity’s reach.
A grimace surfacing as a slightly apologetic grin.
Or a genuine, heartfelt, ear-to-ear, light up the room…
smile.
It’s hard, almost impossible to smile at times.
But there is always something to smile about, if [...]
