Saturday Random Contemplations

Anthony14 Comments

In this consciousness we call life,

we have all been baptized in fire of adversity.

How we come out the other side is all that matters.

No need to dwell on the terrible things that happened, those just tested our mettle.

Try to remember that, when you’re overthinking like I do.

Find a peaceful way to integrate your past as a part of your life and series of lessons.

Some light and simple others quite cathartic.

Be present, be now, enjoy what’s in front of you.

Not what’s behind you or ahead of you…

  2. Random contemplations on your random contemplation (which is so profound):

    What is in front of you vs. what is ahead of you. Such an important distinction, and, as I get older, one that’s more and more important to make. The reality of my mortality sits out there, and yet there is so much to look forward to and enjoy. So maybe that’s the key: not to worry about what needs to be accomplished but what can be enjoyed while doing what must be done. Don’t know if this makes any sense, but I think sometimes we get so focused on the goal that we miss the joy of the journey on the way.

    • You nailed it and thank you. It’s kind of like blogging. I have this goal of getting this humongous a number of followers and subscriber so I can monetize it and build this huge volume of poetry so I can write books with it.

      I need to remember just to enjoy the fact that I write things that make people feel something and that we’re having this discussion right now based on something I wrote and something you share that’s what this is all about.

      Thank you for this great reflection and I look forward to further discussions as we continue writing and sharing in this environment and community. 😊
