A glorious day of personal awakening. |
Today the world has stopped for me. I lie in a pause, awake in my calm, to see myself finally catching up to me. Thoughts sobering and clear; images now sharper than reality itself. Too often does life pass us by. A day that I could finally forget its name have I awaken in and boldly live with little consequence. This is the day that I have made and I have only myself to blame if I can't find happiness in it. It is I who has let my pain go this far without relief, and it is I who knows better than to let it get out of my grasp. Today I can lose my train of thought and not worry because there isn't very far it can go. Only living once means there is one opportunity to do things right the first time. We may have chance after chance to make amends, but nothing can erase the memory of the initial defeat. Continuing on is only a means of exacting revenge; a sweet greed it is but not as fulfilling as acheiving and maintaining a victorious height when successful from the start. Halfway through a day of nothing has no relevance to me. There's still much to make from it. Sure it is a concentrated glory and a pressured rush leading to be complete. But doesn't that rush tire one out for the next, possibly more challenging day? Practicing moderation in every aspect of life will most likely lead to a well-rested, more fulfilling and more satisfying walk. Today the world has stopped for me. It has allowed me the time to reset my soul, recapture my spirit and set in motion the course of life for which I will follow for some time. It is now that I can take a deep breath, catch my bearings and ready myself properly for whatever lies ahead. |
