Of late, I've been contemplating the differences
between existing and actually living. It is indeed
something, to come to the end of your life and
question yourself if you have actually lived or if
you've solely given in to existing. Thank the gods
that we each have lists of wondrous and glorious
moments in which we actually lived, putting our
lives on the line for a given experience . . . but
perhaps the question really refers to, What is our
usual? D we live vicariously through the media?
The television? Our fave movies? The odd show?
Or, do we actually get out there and do the hike,
try out the snowboard, ski the slopes, travel and
see the world? Do we possess stories to tell or
do they belong to our heroes? Can se tell tales
out of school, or are they those of our sheroes?
Perhaps, in our elder years, we may be tempted
to hang up our skates, but I keep seeing photos
and stories of these amazing women in their 90's
still dancing, still hiking, still LIVING! Me thinks
'tis time to assess our position and get the hell
out of Dodge!
pray give me courage
to act out my own crazy
still craving real life
