Wish me as much
as you want.
But I am not naïve.
I know life enough,
done for four decades,
how the ceramic vase shatters,
I am familial enough.
The life terrain
has ups and downs,
peaks and ditches,
it's cold and scorching,
it has blessings and curses.
We will push the rock
like Sisyphus,
tiptoe around life,
until death shows up.
We will feel all emotions,
all those self-help books we read
will go down the drain,
when we will be tried.
But we have to brace,
as long as we are guests
on this blue planet,
we should keep acting
true to self, radiation compassion.
Let's be pragmatic,
embrace amor fati,
and que sera sera.
Wishing a happy new year. Though I will advise to embrace amor fati (love your destiny) and que sera sera (what will be, will be).
