I live life slowly
A treasure, each moment spent,
Time passes swiftly
With age I have come to know
Life’s light flickers brief through time.

{choka if you wanna...   }



seek the flame within yourself
and let your soul be cleansed by
the fire of love.  Axel Ekenstierna

But yes, yes, that past seems to be flickers, even tho the future seems to offer no fast forward, and some days life is like a freeze frame.

Enjoyed.

As I get older and hopefully wiser, I finally get it, life really is too short. (and all this time I thought it was a cliche) The treasures you write of are precious and few,  and something no one can take away.

I'm counting my blessings right about now!
Enjoyed Donna~

So true, Donna. I realize this more
and more the older I get.
