Perhaps it is, really,
By design
Where we are born
And how we live
And how and when and why
We die.
Perhaps it is
By fate,
That we can love
And we can laugh
And dream
And struggle to let go
Of hate.
Perhaps we’re each
A stitch
In the tapestry
Of an overarching
Plan,
(That we do
Or do not
Understand).
Yet still the truth
Remains,
That our strength is
Bound to fail at
The weakest
Thread.
And that we each have a
Part in
Whether we
Mend
Or shred
The possibilities
Ahead.
And just for fun, also for Terri’s Sunday Stills: Yellow
Beautiful, Na’Ama! Easy these days to let a thread shred (say that fast 3 times) the way the world is now. Your image would have worked for Sunday Stills today, miss seeing you there. โค

Thank you, my friend. Yes. It is all about conserving one’s energy while doing what one likes as much as one can … I’m well now, though I was under the weather with an annoying fever and malaise for a few weeks, which was less fun, but all told, it was not severe and I’m back to ‘normal’ (whatever THAT is, when it comes to me … LOL), though backlogged with some stuff and also feeling the summer slowing down, which is a good thing for anyone who can make the time. Have a LOVELY time off!

I like this. I’ve no belief in fate or grand plans, yet it’s clear that everyone, even the least seemingly insignificant does play a vital role in the unfolding of the planet’s life

Amen to that. We are none of us superfluous, and we all can make choices to benefit of diminish the planet during our lifetime.
