Poem
To Live this Life Inertia it is something we can’t stop once put into motion. It has a destiny unless abruptly stopped. But to let it linger on in it’s own way has a way of causing extraordinary consequences. If we let it take it’s own course it turns into fate. I know you don’t believe that? Think about a stream of water running through a dusty schoolyard started by a forgotten hose. It has the potential to start a lot of things. Some good, some not so good. But it is inertia. To flow the constant need to go to ground. It doesn’t think about it it just does. It could care less about the consequences of it actions it is not thinking. It is working from the laws of nature and those laws seem to be steadfast and strong. There is a mean time between failure on every thing…. including us. The laws of nature apply. A tree in the forest will crack and fall given a certain age and density and no one will notice. Your mind will give out before your bones and someone will notice. It’s ok. There is a design for watching it and it places us where we need to be. Some of us in the pines other’s along the sea and yet others in the high mountains. Places we yearned to be. Some will call it God others Mother Nature but whatever you call it call it home. For we must all come home to meet our maker and on that day we will grin for life has given us what we never knew we had inside. And it will be a peaceful day to lay under the shade trees on the other side of the river and know you have lived a life in this wonderful world. They say some of us come back we shall see. To live once is a blessing to live twice is a chance to make a difference.
