Why does infinity stretch so damn far,

And eternity take, like, forever?

They told me “You’ve got to be patient, my son”

And I’d say, with an eye-roll – “Whatever…”

I want it all now, that enlightenment stuff

Are you sure I need change, just to get it?

I’ll huff and I’ll puff and use bully-brute force

Or… could it be that the way is to “let it”?!

Be You.

“Every evening I turn my worries over to God. He’s going to be up all night anyway.”

- Mary C. Crowley

I sent him a text… He sends back “LOL!”

I took a step, and stopped, and stood

And looked back wistfully…

That life I thought I’d led seems vague;

A dream… How could this be?

For where I was, was who I was

But now I’ve moved, you see

One simple step, by conscious choice

Changed everything… for me.

Be You.

“Every moment is a moment of decision, and every moment turns us inexorably in the direction of the rest of our lives.”

- Mary Balogh

Italian or Chinese? Oh, the agony of decision!

By golly, I need to feel happy!

By gee, if I only knew how…

By gum, perhaps it’s my preference

To be anywhere, but here and now

I live in the past and the future

And you may not consider that odd

But dammit, I vow to stay present!

By golly, by gee, by gum… and by God.

Be You.

“Whether it’s the best of times or the worst of times, it’s the only time we’ve got.”
