Our lives are not as limited as we think they are; the world is a wonderfully weird place; consensual reality is significantly flawed; no institution can be trusted, but love does work; all things are possible; and we all could be happy and fulfilled if we only had the guts to be truly free and the wisdom to shrink our egos and quit taking ourselves so damn seriously.

~Tom Robbins

there’s this call to deepen my attention…

inquiry for today~ feel into your quiet spaces….

when it’s time…

Don’t leave anything for later.

Later, the coffee gets cold.

Later, you lose interest.

Later, the day turns into night.

Later, people grow up.

Later, people grow old.

Later, life goes by.

Later, you regret not doing something…

When you had the chance.

Life is a fleeting dance, a delicate balance of moments that unfold before us,

never to return in quite the same way again.

Regret is a bitter pill to swallow, a weight that bears down upon the soul

with the burden of missed chances and unspoken words.

So, let us not leave anything for later. Let us seize the moments as they come,

with hearts open and arms outstretched to embrace the possibilities that lie before us.

For in the end, it is not the things we did that we regret,

but the things we left undone, the words left unspoken,

the dreams left unfulfilled.
