Living Now

June 10, 2020

Breathe as if it’s your last breath.
Walk a road untended and wild.
Pay attention to the details that sketch your life,
draw bold and wide, ignoring mediocrity.

Honor the love that binds.
Be present for the small gifts laid upon your table;
for your spirit to open, soul to unwind.
Become one with all we share:
world connected, sublime.
