grappling with Today

arqios


Notice of absence from arqios
A reminder to extend an olive branch… where possible.
Let us sup of the dignity of kindness and humility…

 

What we do with each new day

How we greet the dawn

Shapes the contours of our existence.  

 

With each step, we carve paths

Paths that weave through the fabric of time

Bringing forth the innocence of yesterday

Allowing us to dwell in the present

 

A present that embraces us with gentle arms.

Tomorrows loom on the horizon  

Uncertain yet promising.  

We approach with hope

A hope grounded in the lessons of the past.  

 

In each moment, we find our strength

A strength born from the desire  

To grapple with the reality of life

To accept its trials and cherish its beauty.

In this dance of days

We become the architects of our fate

 

Crafting a life that holds value

A life that finds peace in the present

A life that understands

The profound truth of being.

    This reminds of an old lesson that someone pretty significant in world history and religion may have said once, β€œSo do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will bring worries of its own. Today’s trouble is enough for today" (Matthew 6:34 NRSV). Pretty wise words, if you ask me...and your poem exudes such wisdom. Well done, arqios! πŸ™β€οΈ

      One of my favourites! The other one goes something like: do not trouble trouble until trouble troubles you! Thanks kindly. πŸ™πŸ»

                  Such a positive and true message. We live in the moment the only thing we have control over. Lovely

                    Wow this is special. So many good lines here. I particularly like "Dance of days" and "Profound truth of being". Excellent

                    • arqios

                      That’s what bugs me, the other lines that aren’t quite as good 😭 Thanks DWa πŸ™πŸ»

                              Fine words arqios, as I have often said "Today is the tomorrow that you worried about yesterday"

                                Very Philosophical. Something we must take on board
                                in our days.
                                Good one.
