Looking together in the same direction.

Looking together in the same direction.
Sea otters hold hands while they sleep so they don't drift apart.

by my favorite poet, Mary Oliver

"Instructions for living a life.

Pay attention.

Be astonished.

Tell about it."

 Today won’t be a great day.

It wont be a bad day either.
Today will just be a ‘day’.
24 hours of absolutely everything.
Moments of joy, fear, uncertainty, pride, love.
Flashes of loss, happiness, connection and loneliness.
Moments swathed in every colour of the spectrum of emotion and humanity
Moment by moment.
Wrapped in hours, that make up one day.
JUST A DAY.
You’ve lived through plenty and you’ll live through many more.
So.
Do not entitle this 24 hour parcel as anything other than what it is…
A slice of life.
Go live it.
Moment by moment.
And be ready for them all.
Donna Ashworth
