I rarely post but had a thought today……

Life is fleeting, take each hour, each minute, each second and live it to the utmost. The hand of death will tap on the shoulder each of us eventually, be able to look him in the eye and with your head held high speak, “I made the most of my time and am now ready”

I agree with what you say,although,being human,is to err,so perhaps using every second wisely is beyond us?Beyond me,definitely! ✌️👍

@pedrohedgerow Yes, the sentiment and intention is fine. Perhaps strive to do so. Yet constantly acknowledging and recognising my failure to live in such a way has been my own path.

My eyes being hindered by blind passions,

I cannot perceive the light that grasps me;

Yet the great compassion, without tiring,

Illumines me always
