In the absence of time I recall what matters.

In my mind's eye I have so much to do. So many different directions to take. This path is brand new and it's all my own. I remember all of the different faces I chose. I now know what path I need to choose. But will I follow it? I feel the changes in me being brought to the surface. This new woman I am beginning to see does not look like she used to. She's different so much inside that she has to ask herself questions about her attitude impacting her altitude. She has to wonder about what classes to take, and what moves to make. Life is a game that must be played. Fast or slow, it will end. Will she accomplish her quest? Will her dreams be actualized? What cards will she play? What cards will she never play? What will she be left with at the end? No this is not tarot or divination in question. This is the way I realize where I stand. What keys I hold in hand. Which paths I walk. The people I meet. The troubles I defeat. I know there are the ones that will stick, and the ones that will be but a moment in passing.

Forgive me Jah, I make many mistakes. I hope not to be a disgrace, but a woman of profound action. I live to serve. I live to lead. I live to give my all or I may as well die now to be quite frank. Life is a game that must be played. Whether you are the die, the pawn, or the rook. Take your stand, stand firm, and strong, or prepare to be knocked down. Prepare for the disappointments of life. Courage is needed. Leave fear behind with your high school crush.
No time to waste now. The world is moving faster somehow. And still slow and steady is not a mistake.
Love life even when it hurts. Pray even when it hurts. Laugh even when it hurts. Cry even when you smile. Think before you act. Remember before you forget. Grab hold, before this moment passes you by. Live well, inhale deep, hug passionately. Forget about your sadness. You really don't have much time. Tick. Tick. Tick. Tick. Tick. Tick. Tick. ------------------------.
