Reflections

by Darling G. Villena-Mata

Present!

Life is not a gamble
nor a chase.

Life is not around the corner
but here and now

You have to be present
to live.


existence versus life

Take existence with a pound or two of humour,
but take life seriously;
for one is brief
and the other is forever.

So be life.
Embrace it
Drink it
Smell it
Be it.


Stories

We are made of many stories.
Some that delight us.
Others that scare us.
And others that we rather soon forget.
Which stories do we honor?

Which stories do we let guide our souls and our bodies?
In these troubling times,
we can discover ourselves
or
find ourselves making trauma the author of our lives.


Miracles

Life is a series of miracles
that seem ordinary to the sleepy eyes.

Yet the miracles are there
They can be felt through
deep breaths and gentle gazes.
