Perception
Life is all about perception. The older you get, the easier
and more important it is to be present in the moment. Why? Because you realize
your future has become limited.
I trace the shape of the past into spaces where the
laughter used to linger. Memories create stories. Adding to the story a
personal touch creates a unique perception. Every story reflects individual thoughts,
emotions, and feelings. It takes courage and bravery to share with others.
Living in a moment means to be present in place and time. I
am blessed to be surrounded by truly wonderful places. Time runs too fast; this
is my perception. I think that nothing in nature lives for itself. Rivers do
not drink their own water. Threes do not eat their own fruit. The sun does not
shine for itself. Flowers do not spread beauty and fragrance for themselves.
Living and giving comes from nature.
Writing poems delves into how the personal perception sees
and interprets the world. Human experience shapes our reality sometimes through
symbolism and imagination like adding strokes of paint with words. Telling how to
interpret our surroundings and experiences in a powerful medium exploration services
the perception to reality.
