No one escapes that which is inevitable. -Dreamer

Sometimes I look at things as if it is for the last time. The colors of the trees the clouds in the sky.  My dog as he lays innocent on the floor carefree of the world around him.  I like to look at the bees as they flit amongst the sage and the flowers that linger a bit longer than they should upon a stem.

I just like to enjoy the views around me as if for the last time.  The appreciation of what is right now.  Because that is all we are guaranteed in life.  The right now.  In the blink of an eye every thing can change.  In the blink of an eye so quick and so forever changed.

It may seem like a horrible way to look at things. But not to me.  It lets me appreciate them more.  The colors the smells,  the sounds.  All that the senses can comprehend.  Saving them up for a ‘what if’ day.   The day I open  my eyes and can no longer see.  A day when terror strikes us again and the world is forever changed.  A day when something, dearly loved, no longer exists in this world.

Enjoying the ‘what is’ make the ‘what if’s’ fade away.  Knowing I have loved and enjoyed all that is there to offer there are no what if’s or what could have beens.. only ‘what is” and what is is what you make of it.  The here and now can be a beautiful; place to be if you just take the time to look. enjoy and comprehend the reality of what is around you.  That each way you look at something is a choice you make.  A choice you can change.

You never know what tomorrow will being, if anything. Never take for granted what is right now.  Enjoy it. Bask in it. Embrace it.  For today, could be the last time you see things the way they are now…
