Driftwood

There comes a time in life where everything starts to feel very comfortable; work is good, relationships are built, one has become adept at managing every aspect of their life. And we are happy with the constancy of it all. But! There is always a 'but'. This 'but' comes before a nagging sense of frustration or dissatisfaction that one is not excelling in life, and has become accustomed to compromise. If our life suddenly brings forth some challenge, we are distracted by this for a while and forget these nagging feelings of frustration until everything is once again in a place of peace. Then those feelings once more appear. The answer to this, would of course be to stay in the present moment - always! remain non-judgemental towards yourself and others, stay true to your self, appreciate everything, find sources of inspiration, stay connected to your true desires and action your intentions! Easier said than done, but we have a lifetime to practice!



Driftwood

Like a piece of driftwood,
I am afloat.
Still - upon the river,
The canvas changes before my eyes.
Hypnotised - by the moving picture,
Seasons pass by; from shade to shade
not stormy eye, nor summer's glade
Can make me reign,
My life drawn in
Until I am nudged - to wake again.
