Moment-um

Savour ev’ry Moment

Whether Sweet

Or filled with Sorrow,

Drink Deep

And Revel

In every Second’s

freezing heat

For they shall not last the Morrow

(RM Graves)

Transitory, Illusory, Hallucinatory...every minute here and gone..'Gather ye Rosebuds' now my friends, for life moves swiftly on.

Precious, priceless minutes, leave us, one lightning drop at a time...abandoning us before we've even blinked and processed our experience of them. Our lives: so modern, so enlightened, so technological, rush us through our days and nights; barely a thought given for where we've just been.   Breathe, be Still, Relish where you are... right now. Thank your Gods, your Goddesses, your Prophets, your Messiahs, your Universal forces, who or whatever you worship: for every gasp of air, every gift, every loved one, every tick of the clock. The Moment,  'Irrevocable', cherish it.

Retrospection and Reflection

I've been pondering lately. Ruminating on the minutiae of life and how much we miss whilst wallowing in the daily sturm and drang of it all. Thankfulness is key: for friendship and love, fun, our self-made families, fashion, art, beauty, food and drink, and our searches for fulfillment. Even in the midst of unhappiness and overwhelm, we need to remember what is important and continuously (and consciously) remind ourselves of all the good in our lives.

Here is my Monday morning thank you to the Universe:

Merci pour:

Our furry babies, having been woken up by my fantastic hubby with steaming hot tea (with sugar) in bed, being late for where I'm going and laughing instead of cursing about it, the comfort of Converse All-Stars, giant handbags, an overflowing closet, my blackberry, caring friends, the dream of a curry dinner and the promise of Spring.

More please!
