Every Moment
Updated: Feb 16, 2022
Everything matters
Every moment
Every movement
Every subtitle gesture
Every choice
Every path
Every step
The way you step
Everything you say
and how you say it
Every glance
Every breath
Every interaction
It all matters
and so many more things do too
It’s all relevant
It’s all meaningful
No moment should be taken for granted
Death sneaks up on us
Sometimes taking us when we least expect it
but it’s always there,
like a murder of crows,
circling above your head.
Sometimes,
remembering this,
remembering
the circling crows,
can remind you to live.
To truly live
To stop taking seconds for granted
Remember death is chasing you
and your slowing down
Death will
eventually
win that race
Life will send you waves
Instead of drowning
from the unexpected
ride the wave
Make the wave meaningful
Life is absurd
Truly
Its full of randomness
and suffering
and those waves will drown you if you let it
Don’t let it
Do your mental gymnastics
To rationalize it
With a positive spin
Realize how absurd it all is,
How meaningless
and then,
make it
meaningful
