devastation

if nothing else i can see how important it is to not be distracted by pointless shit

if nothing else i can see how important it is to live the life you want now

if nothing else i can see how important it is to say i love you, to stop the woman in the supermarket who has good hair and tell her, to smile at a stranger, to wear the clothes that you love

if nothing else i can see how you need to listen to the whispers of your heart - not put them off or pretend they are not there

because without warning you may not be there at all

    Oh so true my friend...so very true! I tell you what I have done a hell of a lot of soul searching these last few weeks with all the loss and devastation that has been going on around us and in our world...

    Totally agree about not being distracted by the pointless shit...

    I was reading along here at your blog (your family is lovely!! - and thanks for sharing the soup recipe) - and came to this post...tears are in my eyes --- it's so true that nothing is forever and we have no idea how short our time is (or how short the gal in the supermarket who's got great hair's time is) -- so vital to tell people how much they mean to us - how they touch us.

    YOU, m'dear - are an open-hearted wonder and your words have touched my heart so many times (thought you should know - tho I hope we both will be around for a long, long time!).

    much love to you!
