LOW COUNTRY MARSH
We spend our younger years looking forward,
And our older years smiling at what we left behind.
And it’s our brain that discards the trivial while retaining what proves to be relevant later. Reminiscing back over the years, it’s interesting to note that I only recall one memory of a double play I made during my many years of youth baseball under the foreign night lights of my first all star game. Needless to say I was never destined for the majors!
We are here not to simply exist but to awaken to the reality that love is eternal. Every breath is a quiet gift and every heartbeat a reminder that our creator is giving us the time to live, love and grow. Focus on living one day at a time, for that is where life is played out. And when praying for change, do not ask for “my will but God’s will be done”.
The most beautiful things in life aren’t the stuff we accumulate but the moments of hidden strength and support that carried us through the hardest life storms to the peaceful eye of the hurricane. And always remember that the path to a full life is never a straight line. In the end, that subliminal uneasiness we experience is remembering that this life isn’t our final destination, as we’re all simply walking each other home to a place we’ve never been before.
The last moments in life rarely announce themselves. Recognize them as the ordinary memories in life that will outlast the moments and provide a lasting peace that you were there to experience them along with our creator’s ever presence.
