I\'m so very deeply sorry for your loss my mother was 64 my own brother was just 25 sometimes I write about it, you do well in your wisdom and advice in my case I didn\'t get to say goodbye to either of my special people, I guess we can call it living without the very thought that it would be the last time, it happens every time anyone says goodbye, and we should all be grateful that we have this life in the first place. sending love and hugs 🌹

I am surrounded by young people. I wouldn’t want to go back, but neither do I want to fast forward. I no longer celebrate birthdays. Age is irrelevant. My inner child is still very much present. I have lost so many loved ones before their time, that I consider myself fortunate. The wrinkles, don’t bother me much, they tell me I have lived, my granddaughter helps choose my clothes, I try very much to live in the moment but need to work on it more. I don’t feel any different than I did decades ago. I am content with what I have got. Your poem arqios, made me take stock. We all need to do that from time to time to truly appreciate our blessings.

This poem and principally its title left a feeling of care free. I live in the moment and so to me a decade is only seen retrospectively and it seems that it was only yesterday. A intriguing poem Cryptic

Reading opens up new worlds for exploration. Lose yourself in a book of poetry. Let all your senses carry you as you travel in another’s words. Let your emotions run wild and free. Be inspired and reach for the sky. You’ll never be lonely with a book. Enjoyed my visit here arqios.

Agreed it is in reading that we broaden our minds and too few people now days read at all. Books have become a past time to gather dust. Sad.

One of the things I was thinking I ought to do this year, not as a resolution (because those are made to be broken) but as a soft nudge of my psyche and soul…and that is to dive deeper into meditation. Such beneficial practice, imho. Anywho, wonderful poem that brings meditation and self-discovery to my mind. 🌹👏

Yes - and going into some churches if open midweek, there can be total silence in some places.
