We enslave ourselves to
Laments of yesterday and
Fixations on tomorrow
But past consequences
Are beyond discretion of
Retroactive options just
As future fates cannot
Escape the provocations
We carelessly negotiate
When the fierceness of
Our presence is renounced
For less mindful illusions

We need more presence and less wandering thoughts. Inspiring and beautifully put.
Thank you…

So true. Trying not to. Need to loosen bad habits and like the owl, take wing. Saw one the other day, such stark freedom. We could learn a lot.
