Some people call what you have described and \'mindfulness\'. As if mindfulness is something new and marvellous. Hmmm... what have we been missing..... in truth nothing... we were always mindful of life around us and how we fit into the scheme of things.... well, that\'s you and me anyhow LOL

Is it just me or can everyone over 50 look back to much waiting, hesitancy and formality that inhibit the spirit of expression, limiting the highs and lows we experience. Thanks Goldfinch, for a gentle reminder to go for it now!
I really like this:
Stop waiting for it and make the most,
Make the most of the moment that you are in...
I try and avoid repetition but your use here reinforces the meaning. Neat, thanks for sharing.

Good write Gold.
I\'m gonna spend this moment in time, telling off people who keep saying \'This moment in time!\' See, they\'ve got me at it now. lol.
I mean, yes, say it sometimes, but basically no need for people to go mad with it! lol. There\'s another thing: \'Well, basically I.....\'

Such a wonderful perspective... Sometimes it\'s like I live in the past while fearing for the future. The journey is sometimes too rough for this weary soul of mine lol. Great poem though and a solid reminder that life is too short!

I rarely look back - too busy filling each day and planning for the future but when I do try I realise how far I\'ve come. And it\'s quite sobering.

Such sound advice dear Andy -- those last two lines say it all - - only look back to see how far our journey has taken us -- good and wise thoughts.

Though looking back is inevitable, at our age having something, or the mindset, to look forward is i feel so very important.
Having made it so far we are so lucky. Looking back, if we must, there is a trail of those who didn\'t make it this far. I know you feel that all too readily in your heart everyday. You are quite remarkable. I think of myself as being a very positive person but i don\'t see myself as in the same league as yourself.

\'reflection is indeed a tool of evolution\', we must recognise our mistakes to have a chance at not repeating them,

Yes, we know it well, us too. We got plenty distance to look back to. 1066, the dinosaurs even!
My only regret was in 1066 when I.... you know it!

Ah the pleasure of being lost in a good book. Pleasures i reserve for holidays when i can carelessly relax in comfortable frame of mind.

nothing better, than the marriage of another\'s creativity to our own capacity for imagination: the fruits of such a pairing, birth some of the most genuinely momentous experience\'s in life

Go with books Andy, every time.
I get my books from Vinnies (sorry - a charity shop) They go (even quality stuff) for $2 a pop (that\'s approx a quid in pommy money) as they become out of fashion when electronic gadgetry is the thing now.

Good write Gold
Yes, we know that state when transported back to 1066, when we read of The Battle of Hastings. But wait - we wrote the book, having been there in person!

I feel as if a bomb just landed on me and woke me up to the universal truth you just penned ... and then, I noticed if one looks at the whole picture (the form of this fine poem) it is shaped like a bloomin bomb too .. boom boom :)

Certainly hit a chord there Andy: Great response. Ideals close to perfect (including those of a liberated sexuality) so I\'m not going to argue about how it played out now. Just enjoy the moment.
Take care, Dave
