Question 725 Learn.

What is the last thing you learned?

I’m learning as I write this answer.

So that was the last thing I learned.

Almost.

You’re writing your autobiography. What’s your opening sentence?

The spot between the holes on a belt or watch band, that’s my comfort zone, because one hole is either too tight or too loose.

The book’s title, “Almost.”

Experience

What experiences in life helped you grow the most?

All of them. It’s an experience. One leads to another and helps you grow.

Both positive and negative.

Path

Do you believe in fate/destiny?

I believe fate is following the path speaking to you. The path that gives you inner joy and inspiration. To me that’s fate/destiny.

However, this can be altered by choices, which can change your trajectory.

These choices can slow you down or force you onto a different path.

The immediacy of laughter or a smile, tear and a feeling.

The anxiety of an action.

Light introspective.

I arise everyday like the sun, bringing my light.

Some days the clouds oppress me, dulling my light and bringing about grayness and shadow.

Although my light still shines, many are blind to it.

That does not mean, it isn’t radiating.

Initiating purpose.

Wanting to a begin new path.

However, not ready to begin.

Recognizing it, is the awareness, you already have.

Don’t overanalyze. You have begun shifting focus. Trust your instincts.

Perfection is not a requirement.

Confusion is acknowledgment.

Procrastination is detrimental.

Each step cultivates growth.

Breathe it in.

Taste it.

Exhale.

Repeat.

The etching of a life.

I’ve missed you before I miss you, and never to have another conversation encompassing laughter.

Songs shared with fondness and sometimes a tear. A heart felt hug and kiss on the cheek. A friend never taken for granted. Many times. The silent hangs.

The banter of improv without filters and judgement. The warmth of a smile. The happiness of seeing you appear and the anticipation of an enjoyable time.

Just one more day that will never be. Sadness without analysis.

A post never to be read by the love it’s about.

The rain cascades downward, purifying the sky and all things below. Like a baptism, a new beginning. Rejuvenating elegance, tranquil, a serene force of transformative renewal, nourishment and salvation.

The mirror of puddles collecting reflections while undulations created by droplets from a cloud. A splash from a child’s boots. The shiny moisture gathered on the ground.

The scent evokes memories, smiles and a pathway of colors and fragrance revealing a spectrum of sensory sentiments.

The melodic splashes of rain drops landing on different surfaces, composing an enchanting melody, ever-changing the auditory experience, never as before.

A poetic celebration of Mother Nature’s celebrated transformative power of love.
