I have fallen in love
with the gift of Life,
and I see nothing
need be omitted.

Beneath the white blanket
Deep in the dead of Winter
Life is nurtured.

Light gives birth to shadow.

Sunshine sends shade.

The stork has always perched
upon the shoulder of the Reaper.

I have fallen in love
with the gift of Life,
and its roller coaster ride.

One track, full circle,
No grasping, hands free
Sensations experienced
from highs and lows.
slow ascension,
rapid descent.
With no thought given
to steering.

LIFE !

Where "experiencing"
is mandatory
Like it or not.

But one can become Willing
to experience the experiences.
Thereby transcending the notions
of "positive" and "negative"
and experience only the Willingness...

that takes you
on a thrilling and
breath taking ride
called  LIFE.

Indeed it is
a thrilling and breathtaking ride.
Well done.
Hugs~Nancy

Now - while the leaves still dance on the wind
While the moon and the clouds come spinning
Will you whisper my name again?
Again..and again....

I really like these line:

"But one can become Willing
to experience the experiences.
Thereby transcending the notions
of "positive" and "negative"
and experience only the Willingness..."

Another good one!
