I think, so many times in life, we question and analyze what comes along, rather than accepting things, simply for what they are...


Poem Artwork

She had come to rely on

their daily conversation…

talk of everyday things along

with hopes for the future.

She would often find herself

smiling for no reason, other

than the thought of him,

although she sometimes wondered

about the “hows” and the “whys…”

until one day, she accepted it,

simply as…

 

“what is.”

Dawn - You've hit on what I see as the essence of zen. Instead of wishing for more or fearing loss, we can most fully experience the moment as you state:
