Yes, tell me.
Tell me about the days
and the ways
that nothing
and I mean
NOTHING
was going right.
At all.
Not even a little bit.
And then
you realized
that really, everything
EVERYTHING
Was more than okay,
More than good
It was flippin’ SWEET.
Maybe it was reading
about third-world problems
or someone else’s difficulty,
Loss
Fear
Anxiety
Maybe it was waking up
and feeling pain
and remembering that
it means you’re still alive.
Maybe.
Perhaps it was the depth
and breadth of your own loss,
Darkness
Soul-gripping grief
that reminded you
that Life
is NOW.
I know.
You know.
So tell me.
Tell me how it feels
To be holding
The SWEET life
In the palm of your hand.
Today.

Beautiful.
Sometimes all the endless bad just stops and all the unmitigated good starts, just like that. Did for me.

It can only be right Now.
When did I realize my life was sweet? Hmmm. I guess I when I took charge of my life, and changed it... when I took the time to be alone... when I took the time to listen to the quiet that surrounded me when I was alone... when I was finally whole... when I met my perfect match... when I finally found peace within myself. :) Now, I can honestly say... Life is sweet!!!
One word. Beautiful.
thank you for this timely reminder. a wonderfully expressed message and the image is perfect with it.
I love this. I count myself among the fortunate, in so many, many ways.
Really wonderful piece, Ti.
It feels exquisite! That is one beautiful poem. You hit home. Thank you.
It feels great -- and I'm making progress one deliberate thoughtful choice at a time as I follow my heart. Crafting my essence statement helped keep me staying true to myself: I am God's magic on display; mystic beloved; intrepid creative explorer; visionary; midwife of evolutionary change.
There are many things this time of year that can emotionally set me off. Some very painful memories in the past.
But life right now is the best it's ever been, and continually getting better, even though the economy stinks, and even though work just keeps getting busier and busier.
I'm thankful to have a job, I'm thankful to have a home, and I'm thankful to share my life with a Sweet Package even better than that sugar packet. :)
