life is beautiful ...

my experiences as I strive to be in the now, or simply, just be. my battles and struggles. my victories and celebrations. life is indeed beautiful - simply by virtue of being life. so in celebration of being alive, my random musings, as life unfolds.

the power of now

there are happy days
some are plain sad
few turn out to be eventful
some are just mad

what makes us feel
the way we do..
is it the stars
or last night's stew

there are those who are clearly lost
people theorize
few pretend to have all the answers
people philosophize

what is this mystery
that we call life
an oven where destiny's cooking
or an account of our strife

how we create complexity
how we love to mystify
if we started to live in the 'now'
won't everything just simplify..

They sure would
But, if only we could -
We live in if, but, or may
Some walk straight,
Some stray...
Trying to wrest some joy
Huddled in the maze of strife
and this four-letter thing
We call life...

Hi

I came here through J's blog. :-)

That's a lovely little poem.

Somehow, i really liked the way you've used 'mystify' and 'simplify'. Quite simply, they seem to be the two sides of the same coin. And quite simply, they aren't.
