Riding on my rocky road
Filled with twists and turns
Not exactly sure where I’m going
But I know I’m moving
Running
Running scared
Running silly
And then I stop – bend over – pick up a tidbit or two
Laugh
Guffaw
Another lesson learned
I saw it first as a place I needed to get to
A destination with a welcome mat
But you know what?
I’m already here
It’s not the place you end up – it’s the steps you take
The strides you run
The times you laugh
The times you cry
It’s what you learn
And what you teach
It’s who you meet
And how you leave
How you love
And how you respond to hate
It’s here
It’s now
Not then
Or there
It’s how you care
It’s where you are and what you do in this moment
This one right now
What was then is simply the stepping stone
And what will be…..
It’s up to you
Blessitude

“Another lesson learned”
…
“It’s here
It’s now
Not then
Or there
It’s how you care
It’s where you are and what you do in this moment”
…
it’s BLESSITUDE!
THANK YOU LORRIE 🙂
…
you’re right, it’s always “up to us”…
Not sure I will be able to “like” and to comment in the coming days, don’t worry! I’ll try to, “on verra”, we’ll see whether I’m “connected to the world” or not! I looking forward to discovering new inspiring landscapes,
Anyway, I’ll think to you 🙂 ♥♥♥
My dear dear friend….I scrolled from the bottom of the page up and the first thing I saw was the black hearts and I thought IT’S FRE’DE’RIC THE MAGNIFICENT!!! I was so so happy to see you on my page!!! You have been missed my friend…but you are so wonderful to stay connected as you have. Thank you thank you…for your support. This poem just poured out of me today….I was set to post a haiku….but inspiration would have none of it. I love when that happens. 🙂 I think of you and I send you such positive loving energy that you are having a delightful time with your travels. I can’t wait to read the words that come from that. And thank you dearest for knowing I am a worry wart…and warning me of your absence. Much love to you <3 <3 You made my day!!
Oh, so lovely Lorrie!!! 🙂 I am quite tired after a long day, but I just want to tell you that this is so beautiful and lovely! 🙂
Hi Trini…no worries sweet one! I am happy you liked this one… it was fun to write. It can be exhausting to you physically when you go through the kind of day you did yesterday….from sadness….to exhilaration and divinity! Rest up and make sure you take care of yourself. We will touch base tomorrow….Sweet dreams <3
To stay in the present…to live within the dying moment of time passing…
ah Lorrie…this is amazing!
Oh Zara….”to live within the dying moment of time passing!” You are so amazing…I love how you read something and go straight to a beautiful verse that succinctly brightens the original! Thank you so much for adding such beauty!! <3
So sublime and beautiful ! <3 it…
Thank you so much! Such wonderful praise 🙂 Thanks for stopping by!
Heaven is here; within. Exactly, Lorrie.
It’s not always a smooth ride,
but it’s well worth
its weight
