This one life…

Seize the moment

By JerichoPublished about a year ago 1 min read

We get this one life

And there will never be another you

No one will ever have the same laugh or gait, your spirit, your story

Take the days and breathe into them

Let the sun trade places with the moon and bear witness to both

Press your heart fiercely toward the sky and proclaim this life

Toward the closeness of how we all gravitate toward one another

Like solar systems of an infinite thread

A kite string tied to the universe, a mystery how we end up finding the ones that we can look in the eyes and say yes I see you…

I see you

Let the love come when you find it, let your heart open stretched to the sky and know let yourself sink into the confines of content

let yourself break and be broken, broken open to the possibility of saturating this life,

This one life

Create art and let the hollowness fill with light

And isn’t it so stunning that we can create reflections of the world around us and others can look at it and see themselves

May we bring each other home again and again

In this one life
