I cant help but being constantly reminded of the impermanence of things. I would say more and more each day. Like a constant reminder...a bird on my shoulder...a monkey on my back. Mountains crumble into sand. Deserts turn to oceans...oceans to forests...and we are nothing. A speck of dust in an infinite eternity. Only for a moment can I catch a glimpse...a preview to where I am heading. A future of uncertainty and a eternal vastness unfathomable. Freezing this moment now. I have stopped time. But not for long. I imagine being smitten by the stark fist of removal. I sense each breath. So important. Each one taken for granted. Magnified...I hold my breath and my body struggles to keep going. Sounds like a plan. Was it not just yesterday we were kids playing in the sand? Innocent, without worries? Ah and here we are now...solidified into our roles on this mighty stage...whether as president, ruler, star, or farmer or bus driver. We end up in obscurity. We all cant win great battles and die immortal like Achilles. Take a second. Ah yes. The breath again. Always there to remind me. I just think I am me. I am dreaming. I am dreaming I am me. I am imagining I am here...now.
