i am starting to realize more acutely that the most important things one can do in this life is to be in the present moment, be thankful for what one has, and to love as fiercely as one can.
these are the most important accomplishments.

everything else fades and falls away.

wabi sabi.

but even to call them accomplishments is a stumbling block.
it suggests we can set it in the past and rest our laurels on it, thus taking away from The Present and beginning the descent into inertia.

we are not our accomplishments.
we are not even what we think.

to say we are ahead or behind the curve makes one know one is not seeing it is a circle.

to identify solely with your thoughts and doings takes us several steps removed from The Present and the reality of the interconnectedness of all things and our rightful place in it all. snuggled into the W-ebb of All Is Love.

we must stay in the present moment and be thankful for it.
thankful for the dust on our windowsill and how the light shines on it.
thankful for the wrinkle on our brow and the blood which courses through it.

this is love.

love is thankful for all the eyes which will read our words and eventually shut
all the ears which will hear our words and eventually wither
all the minds which will understand our words and eventually forget
all the hearts which will know our words and eventually stop
and go back to the one word, wyrd, weird whirrr-d which is whispered and screamed in every cell of our BEing

love. Love. LOVE.

this is an ongoing process and there is nothing more than this.
