Life is for Living

Singapore

Here’s the thing. Life is simply too short and precious to squander it.

I just spent the last two weeks in a complete discombobulation.

Jet lag, new experiences and fresh insights can have that kind of effect on you.

What is it that they say? A mind once stretched cannot return to its original shape?

Yes – my spirit, mind and heart have been stretched once again.

Rather than despair and wishing for the former state, I am endeavoring to move on.

Create new chapters, communities and possibilities.

Go deeper. Yes.

Go further. Yes (again).

Join me in soaking up this truth once more – life is for living.

What’s a good way to start?

Let these quotes from American poet, Mary Oliver (1935-2019) guide you.
