life...


live it, earn it.

breathe it in, it is subtle in its discreet way of reminding us.

it is as subtle as the air we breathe.

you can't see it, you can't reach out and touch it, but you can feel it.

you can breathe it in.


I too long have been selfish in my search of meaning.

caught up in the why of tomorrow, the why of today.

but I am here.

and you are there.

"take a step" I was once told.

"Keep lifting each foot and putting them down

and you'll get there."


It is not just about doing the work at hand. It's living in it.

the work. the rest. the production.

are just the way we build memories.

the way they bleed into our veins more than blood.


how do we live?

i ponder day and night.

but it seems simple.

just breathe.

you just have to.

it's not as hard as we make it.

it comes naturally.


where do i go?

with the flow.

life keeps going. time keeps going.

time is the water that runs through this river.

we can't choose to stray from time.

we are constantly riding it.

live each day with a renewed mentality.


go for a swim.


it's your life.

it's your decision.

decide then.


decide to live.


find hope.

no, pursue it, seek after it.

seek after truth.

life is a pursuit.

the journey is the life, not necessarily the destination.



live and pursue the meaning of words like love, hope, righteousness, freedom, honour, courage, and then words like awe.


be in awe.

life...


you can live it.

go.
