Embrace life!

Today's Quote from A Fancy Word for Simple:

"Be as a page that aches for a word/ Which speaks on a theme that is timeless" -- Neil Diamond


I can get behind the idea of being a page aching for a word. I know what it is like to see a blank space staring at me, dying to be of use ... to be created upon. Whether or not that is timeless, well, that's a separate issue. Because in some ways, all themes are timeless...loves, hopes, fears, worries, joys, sorrows...and in some ways, all themes are fleeting. Time moves on, to attempt to hold it is like trying to trap a wave upon a shore. Just sit back and enjoy the wave .... or leap into it with complete ecstasy! Wait not for perfection, for the excellent expression of timeless themes, just embrace life and and enjoy all of its timely and timeless aspects.
