Walking through the cemetery,
present to life.
In all its messy, splendid glory,
this life is what you have.
With dreams and yearnings,
secret wish lists tucked away
at the back of your mind.
Newton said,
“a body at rest will remain at rest
unless an outside force acts on it”
So you wait for that outside force,
to strike, and set you in motion.
Going at it ass backwards,
when the source of your power is inside.
How long will you let it lie dormant?
How many more hours, days,
and years will you let pass you by?
Strike.
Set yourself in motion;
exchange your inertia for freedom.
Great reminder Sandi that our power is within and that the only person that sets our lives in motion is us. So often we wait until something happens or someone makes it happen for us. Unfortunately we could be waiting a long time. Thanks for the inspiration!
I love you line going at it ass backwards – it sounds so British Sandi! And you are spot on. Wonderful reminders of our inner power.
Cathy Taughinbaugh I think we all go through phases of waiting, but unfortunately for many it becomes a way of life rather than a phase!
ElleSommer I have a few Brits in my offline life, and a whole lot more online, so I suppose I’m picking up your mannerisms Elle 😉
