" Generally,
by the time you are real,
most of your hair
has been loved off,
and your eyes drop out
and you get loose
in the joints
and very shabby.
But these things
don’t matter at all,
because once you are
real
you can’t be ugly,
except to people
who don’t understand."

I want to really
live
IN the moment;
but not live
just FOR
the moment.
How About You,

Living in the moment can be hard for people sometimes.
ReplyDeleteLovely pictures. And a fine distinction between living FOR the moment and living IN the moment. All of our days are a collection of moments to be savored.
ReplyDeleteLove moments, lots of little ones are cool, work gets in the way of my life. Better to have nice, busy work than the alternatives. DrumMajor

ReplyDeleteMy favorite way of saying this is that I want to feel completely comfortable in my own skin." So far it hasn't really happened.
ReplyDeleteI once had a snorkel and flippers on a trip to Hawaii.
ReplyDeleteActually twice: once to Maui and Kauai (two islands in one week...was too much travel and not enough relaxing, but I loved seeing Kauai. Second time was a week in Maui. Such lovely fish and corals!

We all live in the moment but we don't all know it.
