I live the words. I will. I should. I must. Not yet. Not now. Not ready. Maybe. Later. Soon, soon. And, the easiest of all, tomorrow. There was always tomorrow. Finding obstacles to delay. Blocks. Barriers built as easily as bridges would have smoothed the way.
But what if that option of future 'doing' dims? What if 'Now' really has to be 'Now'? What if every thought, every choice, every moment that still breathes life is Legacy? What then? Who, how, when and where do you choose to be?
Lately, I have been pondering on my own unique place and purpose. Pivotal points, tragedies and challenges, tend to concentrate the mind. You may have experienced events. Similar thoughts. The 'why?' of life becomes an unremitting strumming. Begging answers, until there is nothing left. Questioning. Making sense of the random and unfathomable. Searching until the still, silence of night finally falls. What have you added to this chaotic mix of human experiences? Did you matter? What will be remembered? How do you hold on? How do you let go? Was the pain worth it? Will joy still glow?
Deep, reflective, wry thoughts, light, airy, tinged with bright, dark humorous glimpses of lives being lived. Delving. Or, simply breathing. Mindfulness. Presence. Just Being. Eclectic observations covering a lot of really useful stuff. And, often, touching on a lot more interesting but not so useful things. The doings of Sages and the thoughts of Fools.

But…then again, isn't it all a matter of viewpoints? What's the difference? Who's the sage and what's a fool? How do you know?
Clarity can be striking. Mistakes. Lessons, learnt, forgotten, repeated. Forgiveness. Compassion, understanding. Learning, growing. We can all wear those T-shirts.
That's the downside.
Procrastination.
It's life. It's hope. It's faith. It's resilience.
That step. That leap. That chance.
Carrying on, regardless.
It's beliefs.
It's choices.
It's actions.
It's what I choose to share.
It's about being who you are.
Are you confused? Not sure? Procrastination. Do you know the dictionary definition? It's delaying or postponing. Do you see the irony of all these words? Do you remember the beginning? The title that said it all?
I'm 'Getting Started' on expressing, musings, reflections, stories, family tales. There are no if's or but's to this, it's really very, very simple. Here, right 'Now', it's all about Being Me...x
