Thinking...

Thinking on the same lines as yesterday of disconnecting and reconnecting....I got to thinking about loss and what we would do differently if we knew that the last time with someone was the last time. I wrote this poem as I thought about it.

I know we can't dwell on loss and what the future brings, but we do have to consider it in everyday life to some degree. We can't know when the last time we will see a person will be, or the last time we will do a particular activity, or even the last time we will take a breath will be. The only thing we can know for certain is that we are alive now and what our feelings are now. We have to strive to live our lives and be satisfied and have no regrets. Regret is the one thing often unable to be remedied.
