A Series of Reruns

Life is a series of reruns;

a boundless gallery of deja vu,

been there done that,

and also rans.

Yet,

every moment is new,

each step forward

is a vast expanse

filled with infinite possibility.

The same face

in the mirror every morning

is facing

new challenges

and opportunities

every day.

Be open to the newness

while you are cherishing

the familiar.

Slippery

Are you looking at life straight on,

with determination, grit, and confidence?

Does life often seem to be splintering,

cracking, sliding, shifting, escaping?

Can life be grasped

like a sturdy branch or like a solid rock?

Fleeting

Short

Brutal

Fickle

Unpredictable

Serendipitous

Joy-filled

Peaceful

Is life what you “make it”?

Is life a smorgasbord that offers a taste of everything?

Look – and see – with both eyes.

Listen – and hear – with both ears.

Touch – and feel – with both hands.

Taste – and savor – with all of your taste buds.

Give. Receive. Enjoy. Laugh. Shout. Sing. Dance.

Rest.
