Sometimes
It’s as simple as standing still
Looking out
With thoughts
Of where I am, who I am, and what I’m doing
It’s not always good, perfect or easy
It’s not always what I thought it would be
While simultaneously
It’s more than I hoped it could be
And while I stand
Looking out at what may be there
What I’m looking at
Or towards
Isn’t something I can see.

I enjoy staring into space, but I can always hear my Mum castigating me for wasting time.
I ignore her!

if we do not expect too much, if we do not let fears and severity carry us, then we have more. Now and here and in the future….a good reminder to what we have got!

Yes but we also should always remember what we need and not need and how we feel because of the behavior of others … isn’t it an equal to realize shat we have? Feelings and emotions are much more linked with happiness than facts of what we have. Feel we like first class or only second choice? This is what counts, no money, nob elongings only feelings!!
