Be Present

Bella Shepard



 

Be present

In every moment of life

In every smile, every frown

In every up, every down

In every touch, every smell

In every sight, every sound

For it is the simplicity of life

That will abound

        • Tristan Robert Lange

          Beautiful piece, Bella. It reads like a soft reminder to slow down and truly live…not rush past the moments that matter. I felt that, my friend. πŸŒΉπŸ–€πŸ™πŸ•―οΈπŸ¦β€β¬›

          • Bella Shepard

            I'm so glad you felt that my friend, and so happy that you are there to share. Thank you for the fave.

            • Tristan Robert Lange

              I do try - as much for trip prevention as your rich appreciation, Bella. But while I remain upright I shall be mindful of your sage advice.

              • Bella Shepard

                Thank you dear Dave, be careful out there and always remain upright. The rosemary and thyme advice is yet to come. lol So good to hear from you!

                • Doggerel Dave

                  Don't forget the parsley.......

                  • Bella Shepard

                    Oops, I forgot about the garnish, thanks for reminding me, after all it's all about the presentation of the dish. Have a beautiful day!

                    • Doggerel Dave

                      You took me back... I was always more of a folker than a rocker. Musta missed you at Scarborough Fair...

                      • Bella Shepard

                        You could have missed me. I was the one, way in the back, weaving the the cambric shirt, took me forever with no seams nor needle work. That's the last time I take a request.

                        • Doggerel Dave

                          Memories.....

                          Take care now, Bella.

                        • Teddy.15

                          That's gorgeous and I love your rhythm, I've been to my friends wedding yesterday, so this is even more significant as it is exactly what we all did. My feet look like the hobbit now but I don't care, a beautiful and positive way to be. 🌹

                          • Bella Shepard

                            Dearest Teddy, you always warm my heart with your kind thoughts and words. It sounds like you shared an incredible time with friends, celebrating such a joyful ocassion. Be proud of your hobbit feet, they gave you all they had, and it was great.

                            Perfect expression. Sometimes just to show up makes everything move along satisfactorily πŸ•ŠπŸ™πŸ»
