Questions

Grand-father speak to me of life. "We are all trapped in the skin of our birth, seeking refuge in a world where time is motionless and heartbeats are counted" Should I worry? "Never worry, worry is not an agent of change, neither will it add or subtract" Is there a life lesson I should obtain? "Yes,You should know compassion and understanding.Unlike the moon and sun that rise and fall constantly, our lives are fleeting and we are doomed, from first breath to disappear, rather to be a traveler of kindness, than one of despair and hate" Should I think of tomorrow? "Tomorrow is a dream of unfulfilled resolve. Tomorrow will become an unspoken word by time, the only survivor" But, What of today? "Today fills our ears with the noise of the world, before it quickly passes leaving regret or satisfaction" But, "Sleep my child so you may dream of worlds where heartbeats are never counted" 9/5/16 contest A Conversation
