"I went into the woods because I wanted to live deliberately. I wanted to live deep and suck out all the marrow of life...to put to rout all that was not life; and not, when I came to die, discover that I had not lived."
~Henry David Thoreau
I thought long and hard about those words today. I think too much sometimes about what might be, that I forget to live for now. I forget that none, not even small children are promised tomorrow. I forget that what is coming will be no matter what and that worrying about it won't make me better prepared, it will only wear me down. I believe that is how some people get sick. They wear a hole right through themselves that allows all joy and hope to pass through them, around them. Through bone, blood, and soul. No substance to speak of remains. If they have no beauty, no peace, then the body does the only thing it can when the head and the heart aren't speaking. It weeps. But tears are too easily brushed aside and then the body is empty. Void of all, where no love lives. Only sorrow and pain are left to fill hope's place.
Live the life fantastic, not a life devoid.
