All human emotion – joy, love, sadness, guilt, calmness, happiness, excitement, anger, obsession, freedom, the sense of success and achievement – ceases to exist when you’re dead.
So relish every moment you’re alive and choose the emotions you wish to live each day.
Choose joy, love, kindness, grace, empathy, laughter, love.
Choose the positive and leverage the negative from which we learn to live better each day.
Remember. Memento Mori.
Doodle art. Found these in the margins of my notebook…pandemic doodles, sketched while on zoom meetings.
…the mystery and joy of the hidden.
I did not see you cry
behind your beautiful smile.
I did not hear you scream
behind your joyful belly laugh.
I did not help you lift your load
though you stopped to lighten mine.
I did not see the demons you fought
while you were busy helping them fight theirs.
I failed you
when I did not see.
I’m awake now
but…
You’re gone.
… a delightful red and a good read.
