Envoi
photo by Audrey Howitt
we push through,
feel the air whip,
feel the air whip,
veins an extension
of the need to be present
for just as long as we can.

ReplyDeleteHa...no, I don't mind, Audrey. I'm glad you saw the word and were inspired to use it. Being present isn't as easy as it sounds but I think it's worth it. Love this life lesson in an envoi.
ReplyDeleteSo easy to dream, but we need to stay rooted in the present as well, even if the air might be a little cold.
ReplyDeleteA simple hymn to resilience, to survival... and what a lovely picture too!
ReplyDeletePerfection in just a few lines.
ReplyDeleteI'm sitting right in the present this morning...last night I was floundering in the future...much more comfortable today. :) Happy Friday my friend.
ReplyDeleteOne must be prepared to make little decisions along the way to stay on top!

Nice to feel the support of nature.
ReplyDeleteOh.. the adversity..
ReplyDeleteoh the challenge
of the first
cold.. the
frost the

most of what
WE see around us
in terms of tools
is a result of
that challenge
of ice.. adaptation
and change..
skyscrapers
fly on
