all of the feelings left at the end of a day.

if you tie it up with a bow, having done your best to show

the inner self the outer is just as productive and savvy, 

but still

at the end of your work world, feel, that there is an

untidiness to the edges, a slight haze that gives it away,

come sit with me.

on the daily i find at least one thing i could have focused

more wholly upon, one more life i should have sincerely

paused for, one more sky i could have imprinted upon the 

picture of my memory to take with me forever.

life is short and although there is so much value in the 

realization that all we have is the now, and you only get the

one shot, and nothing is guaranteed, well, i am also here to tell you that it is overhyped.

even by me.

do not sell yourself short in doing something "TODAY!" that 

you ordinarily wouldn't feel in your nature to do!

stay true to yourself, dear heart.

life is also just as long as we LIVE IT.  

enjoy the opportunity to sip your favorite latte and take

in an incredible sunset. savor the moments in time with your

loved ones and be open to learning from strangers. sit down 

with a book and immerse your imagination in the story someone

else has shared.

but do not do these things, any of them, out of hurried guilt.

life is short, yes, but never too short for you to enjoy the

beauty and gift of self. 

the way you see and feel the world is unlike that exact frame of

any other, and that is a joy to be shared as well.

sit down with me, love, if at the end of the day your heart is 

still wanting.  look at the warm lights with me dear, and 

hear your own voice.  this time is so brief that it could last

forever.
