To Live...
No matter
Who you are
Young or old
Measure of success
Places you've roamed
The clocks tick
Seconds pass
Can never regain
Moments left behind
Every step taken
Forward or backward
Our daily existences
The ups and downs
Routines and regiments
Deep depths to feel
The ups and downs
Routines and regiments
Deep depths to feel
True meaning of our lives
Live with regrets
Missed opportunities
Dormant dreams
Change the future
Challenge yourself
Strive for more
Thrive not just exist
Live it out load
Clearer perspective
Begin to truly live
Creatively and passionately
Stir up your soul
New urgency
Fresh purpose
Sharper focus
Taste what you're made of
Rediscovering life
Reawakening who you are
Death is universal
Everyone dies
Not everyone lives
To live ...
Live with regrets
Missed opportunities
Dormant dreams
Change the future
Challenge yourself
Strive for more
Thrive not just exist
Live it out load
Clearer perspective
Begin to truly live
Creatively and passionately
Stir up your soul
New urgency
Fresh purpose
Sharper focus
Taste what you're made of
Rediscovering life
Reawakening who you are
Death is universal
Everyone dies
Not everyone lives

"he not busy being born is
busy dying"
the past is a harmless penumbra floating internally
but giving the mercy of
ultimately being external
to the evolving soul.
internal pasts are forever reexamined for meaning.
but since they are external we are looking
at the doings of other beings.
we are process.
process leaves remnants.
it is our decision whether or not to reclaim our
previous externality.
i say: go without it for awhile. live a little in the now.
the past will always be there
to be retrospectively reexamined
in its portentous potentiality
"Go without for a little while. Live in the now. " -- AMEN!!!
You are so right about that.. It is a shame that one most go without or lose in order to get what it is like to truly live..

I am a preschooler with a clock.
I was gonna go on a early stroll.
In the morn you hear hoot owls.
You expression lightens my mood
I will unplugs the alarm clock now.
That is a way to stop time. Unplug.
It saves on electrical bills. Thanks.
Thank you very much for the great compliments.
It feels great to be back around the many walls of OS again.
Now if I can get my computer to corporate, and my back to ease up some, then I can read more posts. I'm working on coming back on day at time.. Thank you! HUGS
"In the time of your life, live!"
Been busy doing some rediscovering of who I am, what I am made of, and reawakening my soul. Thought I would share my thoughts in a poem for everyone.
It is a shame to realize how many of us make the choice to just exist.
Thank you for compliment of it being inspiring and a Lovely.

I always loved that piece by him, and it spoke so wisely of world and how we should live not waste it or add to the suffering.
Beautiful, brilliant piece that is. I found a copy of it in my collection of quotes and poems.
Now others can read it as well..
Thank you very much.. hugs
William Saroyan- "The Time of your life."
"In the time of your life, live—so that in that good time there shall be no ugliness or death for yourself or for any life your life touches. Seek goodness everywhere, and when it is found, bring it out of its hiding place and let it be free and unashamed.
Place in matter and in flesh the least of the values, for these are the things that hold death and must pass away. Discover in all things that which shines and is beyond corruption. Encourage virtue in whatever heart it may have been driven into secrecy and sorrow by the shame and terror of the world. Ignore the obvious, for it is unworthy of the clear eye and the kindly heart.
Be the inferior of no man, or of any men be superior. Remember that every man is a variation of yourself. No man's guilt is not yours, nor is any man's innocence a thing apart. Despise evil and ungodliness, but not men of ungodliness or evil. These, understand. Have no shame in being kindly and gentle but if the time comes in the time of your life to kill, kill and have no regret.
In the time of your life, live—so that in that wondrous time you shall not add to the misery and sorrow of the world, but shall smile to the infinite delight and mystery of it."
Thank you for sharing this!
