Being Human

Whenever we think we know something about it we find we were wrong. Being human is to be part of a universal whole. Too much for me to comprehend.

How many people do it.
Work hard all their life, retire, and die a couple of months later.
Work-life balance, me thinks.

sorenbarrett said:

Bella this brought so many memories of my own children and the past. The past is foggy like a dream but some images remain clear. I am glad that the clear ones are the happiest

I just knew from the delicious title and even before opening the page that I was gonna enjoy sharing the mess that was likely to be contained within ... and boy, I was not disappointed ... I\'m still wearing a trace of my initial smile as I recollect similar memories of my own kids .. Thank you my dear literary friend and poet ..... Neville

Sticky Hands and Grape Juice Smiles
Paul Bell said:

I would imagine not a lot has changed. The fingers are still sticky, the high chair might be a bit posher, but the food still goes everywhere apart from in their mouths.

L. B. Mek said:

Brilliant!
this
work, of sheer unwavering bravery
and sincerity of the utmost intimacy
with that poetic eloquence
of effortless, magnetism
is why I read..
thank you! for choosing to share
dear Poet
\'Food was a tactile experience
New tastes, new textures
The stickier, the better\'
reading choice wording, like this
reminds me, despite it all
indeed, life
is beautiful!

Where I am now is a combination of the (occasionally) competent handling of the cards I was dealt, the timing and what I managed to learn in the process.
But what if the hand I received had been different......?
No regrets.....
Thanks Bella.

Good write Bella.
One said to me one day: \'Do you live to eat, or eat to live?\' lol.
Or more relevant to your poem: \'Is work part of your life, or is life part of your work?\' We should balance it out to be the former I think.

All true. I’ve wasted my entire life just treading water and conforming to what society deem normal. Probably would have enjoyed it more wondering around the world doing the basics to survive!

There are some stories I have absolutely no desire to connect with; you did however get me musing too - for that many thanks, Bella.
