Catch yourself!

ahhhh el Lunes...no monday blahness, only reality :)

Yesterday my friends from infancy (aka elementary school) came over and we did what we do best, catch up and over analyze.

Another bow was added to our friendship string as three individual highly distinct lives were once again brought together by forces stronger than I could explain.

--the small things

I've been more time conscious recently since I've been forced to acknowledge our mortality more than usual. how fast time slips through our existence, like sand through our fingers. Is it just me or is time in a rush? What the flip flop!?! Sickness, disease, violence, fate and ultimately death. I'm reading the Kite Runner and as I read about the narrator's care-taking responsibilities, my reality shot to the forefront of my thoughts because reality too is privy). Frightening- yes; inevitable- of course. So I caught myself. Take it how you want it.

*Catch yourself being nasty to a loved one at stupid little things like loosing your wallet
*Catch yourself wasting precious time
*Catch yourself setting limits to your life

I caught this as the elliptical caught me, a sunrise that only NYC has to offer and New Yorkers can mostly appreciate: Warm pastel yellow sun rays piercing thick unwelcoming cold grey clouds forcing a caricia on the unkempt steel bridge of 225th street glistening on the face of the Hudson below as the current dragged melting sheets of ice and debris toward a wonderful place...a new place.

*& at the risk of repeating every brilliant mind that was or will be-there's a big world out there- LIVE

Paciencia y Fe
