Chasing Spring

"For those who missed the journey in pursuit of their elusive destination"


Like you, like me — my dreamer friend forever rushed through life, chasing evenings in the mornings, seeking spring in the heart of winter, and started to look for Sundays on every Monday morning.


That restless buddy never lived in the present moment for all those forty not-so-long years. 

 

Until one day, the limits were tested … and the spirit quietly left the flesh behind. that day we lost the friend for ever. 


Was it worth it? I wish I could ask.  

So, my friends — love life while it’s yours; indifference will only let it slip away.

  7. A balance of rest and activity suits me best. But it is a tragedy to be so busy that we never properly enjoy things.

  8. Your last paragraph is very true 👍 We never know which moment will be our last. Living and cherishing each moment and each day is wonderful.
