Giacomo Leopardi inspired me to write this Book on 'Sunset Love'. He was inspired by a young woman across the street from him when h...

What do I do now?

 A good question for me today

as I reassess moving forward,

whilst following my present reality

situation and maintenance.

The Universe tells me to still think

like a young man, to look forward

into the future, but always reminding

me of the limitations of Time.

This human life house of cards can

come tumbling down at any moment,

as it pleases and whenever it happens.

So what do I do now? Only have fun?

Don't have any commitments? Just wander

around aimlessly? I have purpose with

the Universe, it understands me... my

doubts about what I see, my humility 

in front of what the Almighty expects 

of me! So, what should I do now as this  

year unfolds? I have traveled far from 

where I was after my life's companion 

was recalled to Eternal life. She cannot help

me anymore except with our memories

and all those left behind: my family! Again,

what do I do now whilst getting over the loss

and grief? Being on your own is liberating, 

but every day the path forward demands

a new approach, a new direction. Now, today, 

the future is up to you! What do I want now? 

To be me! To live with liberty! The freedom

to decide what each day brings. If the day

needs flexibility, so be it! I have always been

happy to stop and respect all who are around

me, no matter how busy I have been. And some

in turn respond with:" I am busy now".

I am now looking at what I must do!

This response I have had thrown at me

many times! So now, I too am sometimes

busy. A leopard does not change its spots

and a shark only moves when it is hungry?

Knowing my own nature helps me. This is

what I must do. Enjoy each day as it unfolds,

do what I like and like what I do. The rest

is truly up to me! Whatever it may be!
