Circle Back

There are continuous beams
of maybes,
miles of uncharted freeways,
sidewalks adoning imprints,
shoes pounded over a time or two.
Still, we’re found,
one thousand years before
we reach, “making enough”.

There are endless
ifs and shoulds and could haves.

If we’re all made of stars,
why aren’t we timeless
as that mastodon of vastness, vacuumed
into bones and skin?

Stars are faultless,
when it comes to the weather.
Faultless.
We are faultless,
underneath the surface,
facing upwards.

We’re surviving on leftover moon rays
and memories.
We’re answering a call
to a cause bigger than we prepared for.

This is beautiful. Like faultless beams of light, searching for what the stars say about us.

Oh I love this piece. It certainly gives some perspective about life and leaves me with a few things to think about and ponder.

    Pretty good. We’re currently in Nova Scotia on holidays. I wish I could hit the pause or slowdown button on life as time seems to be moving so quickly.

    I have been feeling the same way, as has my husband ! It’s almost September already. Time needs a break day so we can slow down haha. I’m happy you’re on holiday! 🙂🤗 DO you have anything special planned?

    Just a lot of hiking and spending time outside. It was tough the last few days because of the heat and humidity, but it’s thankfully starting to cool down.

    Yes! We have been, too. It’s been finally getting nice out. I recently started making fall decorations by painting pinecones. It’s so relaxing 😌. I love the fall. I’m going to be visiting your site this weekend ☺️. I love reading about your travels ! I’m glad you’ve been enjoying getting out 💕 happy, almost fall, Linda !

so relatable! Being human has never been more depressing than pondering what things could have been…a constant sense of missing out and what ifs. Beautifully said Sis ✨
