Return

 Reminiscing

Living between two eternities,

we always return 

to where it began

I mean, nobody really cares 

what your major was,

what you used to do,

who you used to be,

what your title was.

I fully grasp the desire,

even the burning fire,

to return to how it used to be, 

the good old days, but…

Everything is temporary. 

It’s helpful to know that, 

to let that be enough.

What new opportunities await my yes? 

What more do I have to offer?

Appreciating the past, yes, but also

engaging out, 

reflecting in,

enjoying the now.

Welcoming newness. 

Creating willingness. 

Being grateful for everyone.

Today is so very special. 

New Beginnings always are.

There  is so much to be joyful about,

and, satisfied, we might capture 

bits of today’s breezy brilliance,

enlivened by the simple pleasure of it all.

We can check our pulse, appreciate our heart,

check our mirror, give it a thankful smile,

grateful for this good day, today.
