While walking in my neighborhood recently, I spotted this flowering lilac or cherry tree (I don’t know the difference).
And the onset of the spring weather inspired this brief poem.
Subsumed
Everything is so
Fleeting in this life.
Existence is like a shadow
Gobbled up by sunlight.

I love it! The gentle surprise and the strong lesson. Thank you.

Thanks Kathy. Sometimes I get lucky and the words are given to me.
Yes. Where do these words come from? Based on an amazing experience of many years ago, I believe they come from a divine source, sometimes from within ourselves, sometimes from outside ourselves. Does that make sense? No need to reply. I know your life is very full. It’s just a pleasure to share these thoughts with you. I hope you and your family are enjoying these early spring days.
Thanks, Kathy. I love hearing your insights. I agree with you about the divine source of words — if you’re open to it. We’re doing well here, and I hope you and your family are doing well too.
