The inspiration of the day came from a colleague battling with cancer and yet with a great attitude about the little pleasures in life and what is a priority!
I dedicate this poem to her called Living, which I wrote back in October 2011 when a dear friend in Seattle passed away very fast from the disease.
Living
Living in agony
pleasure only in dreams
as if it could ever defy gravity
and manifest herein
Living in harmony
is out of reach
as long as I keep wanting
instead of accepting what is
Living effortlessly
feels good, and yet
the question arises
“is this as it should be?”
Living, just living
is all there is
everything else comes and goes
like the Sun, the Moon, the stars
Living is the thread
underlying it all,
What do I choose today?
