Left leaning

by Linda   Mar 3, 2021


My own ignorance is my life’s greatest challenge.
I am torn between two perspectives.

All I know is that I know nothing,
and I want to know everything.

The yearning for inner peace and silence,
the hope that my brain is stimulated every day.

Have I come alive?
Am I on the other side?

I blinked and a decade has passed before my very eyes.
My babies are children.

I have children?

Is it worth reviewing?
Shall I re-torment myself by learning from the traumas I’ve experienced?

What lesson is there inside for me to learn other than I am living proof that if you carry on, you survive?

Is it meant for me to understand my suffering?

Why does time pass and leave me behind?

    Perhaps carrying on and surviving is all that we're supposed to do. Bleak thought, perhaps, but it's the best I've been able to come up with...
    *by the way, is there a typo in the title?
    All the very best.

      No typo, it’s a thinker. :)

      Sounds like we’re on the same page
