My youth is gone. It slipped away without telling me it was leaving. One day I looked in the mirror. I mean really looked and realized that so much of life had passed me by. The joke on me is that it cannot be recaptured but for a short time I believed it could. And in the process I made a fool of myself. Our spirits may be ageless but our bodies are not. Our time is a gift. We may think that we did not ask to be here but I believe we did. There are no accidents n the universe. Everything has a reason. We may not understand the reason but that does not eliminate it's existence. You can only start your journey from where you stand. Not anywhere behind you. Not anywhere ahead. And you are always standing in a place called the present. Our journey is a journey of the present. When you live in that moment, then you truly live. I'm still trying to figure out how to truly live.
