we hold on to thoughts
(happy and sad)
to clarify our minds;
we hold on to things
(good and bad)
to mark our passage through time;
we hoard...
because we're afraid
of 'empty' space
/ we fret /
our memories will fade
away without a trace
and our essence
will be impossible
for anyone
to re/collect...
because of our need
to believe the love we felt
and the decisions that we made
have had a positive
and everlasting effect
on the world which,
one day,
we may have to leave
behind...
because
we lack faith
that God / Nature / the Cosmos
is aware
of everything
we think and do,
not just because it cares
but because it's needy too...
/ because it lives within
and without
our earthly selves
and knows all there is to know
about fear
loneliness,
and feeling blue /
we really ought to relax
and love it back ~
we need to unwind.

I enjoyed this. What a comforting thought. I have always felt a great affinity with nature more so than people
people tend to forget that we are nature, and unfortunately some think they're superior to it (so they're not only at odds with other people but also themselves)...
am glad it made you feel ok 🙂
Jhe,
Spot on with your message!
Many struggle with...
“Nature vs Nurture”
“Nurture vs Nature”
Personally...
First Nature then Nurture...
Hand in hand is their journey!
An enjoyable super write!
Thank you for sharing.
