Be happy in the moment, that's enough. Each moment is all we need. Quote —Mother Teresa
Whatever the offerings of time may bring Whatever song my heart chooses to sing On life’s small pursuit I shall meditate Elysian splendor around me, I appreciate The simplicities of pastoral living unfurl I’m graced in your stellar light, a cosmic pearl Serene contemplation, moments well spent A transcend of intellect, I pursue contentment Humbled, a mochila drapes my shoulders Now weightless, old tomes heavy as boulders Once laden with Maslow's hierarchy of needs The cause of sight itself as Plato laid the seeds Streets of an unclean soulless city no more Once blemished and ugly as a repellant eyesore Until this vacant shell had found release, acceptance paralleled an inner peace A new perspective can only see the beauty of the craftsmanship and the ingenuity On this celestial hike I embrace “carpe diem” A lesson learned in this hour spans a millennium The power and value of each moment however brief, I walk along as an exponent Unfurling love that rids me of my emptiness Colloquially speaking I have found happiness
