Remember?
Sunday, January 29, 2023
Sometimes it is impossible to remember
that we live on an improbable accidental planet
that might not have come into existence
without the perfect balance
of gravity and heat and cold and atmosphere and water
at the perfect distance from our star.
But when we do - those moments of seeing the beauty
that is so diverse and mesmerizing-
when we do see; there is the joy of just being alive
the joy of seeing, of living, of breathing!
Then we feel the lightness of being
and remember that we are travelers on this spaceship
for only a brief time
and the true essence of our lives is revealed
if only for a moment.
