Do we truly consider the time it takes to become fully formed? Think of the hours or days (or longer) to stretch, then rest, then resume to become what may.
As strong as the moment, as fluid as the night, each day evolving into the shapes we must take to fit into the current situation.
We are as fragile as we are strong, or beautiful, or worthy, even temporary.
Sparkle while you can.
Be comfortable where you are.
Gravity will take you further.

Unintended lapses in judgement,
latent mistakes, broken promises,
even common forgetfulness will
leave a hangover.
Dwelling on these impositions or
untimely faults will only delay any
progress you hope to make.
Don’t let yesterday use up too much
of today.
You have tomorrow to consider.

It doesn’t take long
for nights to blur
into months
or years,
or beyond.
Fractured thought,
a broken timeline,
then barely
a fragment of
a second,
or
nothing at all.
Do you remember
what was there
before?
Memories often
disappear
just like that.

From east or west. By
longitude or latitude
we differ, yet we are
the same, depending
on your attitude.
We are connected,
each of us playing a
part in the evolution
of this amazing planet.
Imagine what could
happen if we put aside
our unconscious bias
and worked together.
