A Poem: Dancing with the Present
If there’s one thing I’ve learnt, is that time will tell all things. Stories will unfold, various character plot will be revealed. The antidote against the unpredictability of events unfolding is to remain present.
Breathe, ground, back to present.
I don’t want to fast forward life because the ending might not be what I like. And even if it would be the desired end, the process matters more than the end result, for the victory of a result lasts only for a momentous while. So I’ll savour the present and danced entirely with life.
