Then, the quicksand

Later, the hill…

 

Now is the flower you hold

Yes! We should hold dear all the good we have now. Such a lovely polished stone of wisdom you have created, Rita! So few words, but so much truth...

[Rita L. Sev]

Thanks so much, J.K.

This is so affecting and inspiring in such condensed power girl!.. like POW!..right in the head..... simple concept told in simple, short lines but far from being simple.. the imagery alone speaks volumes and transports your mind, then add the emotion associated with those images and ughhh right in the heart.. you feel the drowning in memories, the weight of the past, you feel the struggle and the strenuous climb, and then you feel the breeze blowing the soft petals, the scent lift and caress, and the colors stimulate and satisfy.. stop and "see" the simple treasures of the here and now, embrace it, enjoy it... I absolutely loved this piece..

Wow - thank you so much, April! I was feeling the quicksand the day this came to me, and I am so gratified to see that you appreciated this musing. Your words have made me smile!

Now goes so quickly, sometimes we never notice. The beauty of this is its simplicity, that in itself speaks volumes. T

[Rita L. Sev]

Thank you, Terpsichore.

This is superb Rita. The use of the ellipses really forces me up a hill with great effect. An instant classic.

[Rita L. Sev]

Aw! Thank you so much, Anto! So glad you enjoyed this simple musing.

How true this is. There is nothing more important than the present.

[Rita L. Sev]

Yet we rarely appreciate it... Thank you, Constance!
