🤗 A Better Life ~ It’s Time to Start Living
Fear is a crippler. It finds reasons not to get a vaccine. It tells us we’ll be hurt if we fall in love. Fear finds fault with those who are different from us. Is it time you took the power from fear and started living?
💡 Something to Think About
Each of our actions set out a series of waves much like tossing a rock in a pond. How do you want your actions to touch others either directly or indirectly?

✒️ Writers’ Wisdom ~ Be Stubborn, Don’t Give Up!
“Don’t give up, and don’t lose your stubborn belief that you have a story worth telling. I’ve had so many people tell me over so many years that I didn’t have the qualities needed to be a writer. All of my writer friends and I have one thing in common: We didn’t listen to the naysayers. We kept writing. And eventually we have all been published.” ~ Devi S. Laskar
🌾 Today’s Poem ~ Don’t Go Far Off, Not Even For a Day
Don’t Go Far Off, Not Even For a Day
Pablo Neruda
Don’t go far off, not even for a day, because —
because — I don’t know how to say it: a day is long
and I will be waiting for you, as in an empty station
when the trains are parked off somewhere else, asleep.
because — I don’t know how to say it: a day is long
and I will be waiting for you, as in an empty station
when the trains are parked off somewhere else, asleep.
Don’t leave me, even for an hour, because
then the little drops of anguish will all run together,
the smoke that roams looking for a home will drift
into me, choking my lost heart.
Oh, may your silhouette never dissolve on the beach;
may your eyelids never flutter into the empty distance.
Don’t leave me for a second, my dearest,
because in that moment you’ll have gone so far
I’ll wander mazily over all the earth, asking,
Will you come back? Will you leave me here, dying?
