“It’s Just Another Day”

(With thanks to James Paul McCartney)

Each day is another challenge
comprised of stair treads up and downhill slides.
We mainly go through life unaware of the burdens:
leaping over the hurdles, and avoiding the pitfalls.

Some obstacles that we soar over would destroy another;
others that some might consider amusing encounters could be the fissure that swallows us.

No one knows what the next moment brings,
what its toll could be on the next thing encountered.

Never assume you have all the answers; 
you may not even know the questions.

Be kind…

Wonder

“I'm not afraid of thunder, I am full of light, I am full of wonder.” 

(With thanks to Emeli Sande)

How does one quantify the human spirit and its ability to become?  
How does one measure the depths of compassion and empathy of any sentient being, 
its drive and determination, its desire or its will? 
How does one determine what was before and what potentials the future holds?
How do we know what follows; what happens next?

I am not so stiff-necked and self-assured to believe without any doubt or hesitation that I know all there is to know, and can determine without the whiff of hubris that others either know less than I or know more than humans can ever know with predictable logic and certainty.

I believe in the god in everything, not the God of everything.
I believe in Good and Evil, Light and Dark, Probability and Chance; 

I am not terrified by Uncertainty, only Doubt.
I believe in every tinge, tint, and shade of Grey that life can devise.
I believe in what I can see, hear, touch; also trusting what I can feel, sense and intuit.
I believe that anything is possible even when little is probable.
As long as life continues, and just maybe after…

There is Infinity.
