It happens

Life...

It happens.

Step forward
Step backwards
Side to side
then turn your partner around.

Some days life is over here
Other days over here
What we hope for in the end

is a connection
from here
from here
to here.


But life has its own tendency
to do what it may
and thus we become
adaptable


It may not be what we planned for, but that is the problem with planning as we so often find out. It might want to shake you by the neck or scare you behind the couch, but it is only life. We know there is a beginning and an end, yet if we are smart enough we enjoy the ride in between the two.

For me this week has been on that side and over there. I have a summer cold that has now moved to my head. It is what it is. I actually like the winter colds best but I will make do with what I have. Thus some of life's uneasiness from last week is now clear. My body has always known what is going on before it manifest itself in a state that I understand. I try to listen to it but sometimes when you are still subconsciously anxious about another stroke you manifest other reasons in your head for why your body acts a particular way.

Life happens
Listen to it
Pay attention to the notes
around you
outside you
inside you

But most importantly

LIVE!!!
