Time Doesn’t Wait.

Time Doesn’t Wait.

A Poem by Carl R Nicolas
"

Time carries us like a river moving us forward, whether we are ready for the current or not... We are just passing through, like the wind through the pines...here for a breath, and then gone...

Time carries us like a river moving us forward, whether we are ready for the current or not...

We are just passing through, like the wind through the pines...here for a breath, and then gone...

It carries you through doors you did not open,
into seasons you did not choose...

The things worth keeping, the things that truly matter, the deepest relationships, the lessons of wisdom, the sweetest joys, they cannot be forced, and they cannot be rushed... They take time to come through. They bloom only when they are ready...

And we,
we are only travelers here,
passing through moments
like wind through an open field,
felt, but never owned,
present, but never permanent...

Before us? There is a long stretch of road ahead, painted under a full, open blue sky...so endlessly blue...never take that road for granted...never forget where you came from...

We are small travelers in a vast, temporary existence. Let that bring you humility...Don’t just stare at the destination. Cherish the movement. Appreciate the changing scenery...

Be grateful for every day, for the wind through the trees, for the road under your feet.
Time is constant. But you? You get to choose how to walk it...

Do not fear the years...
Instead
embrace them...

The road is life...
The journey is all.
Cherish it...
Carl Nicolas.

Excellent philosophical piece here. Impermanence can be intimidating, but it is one of truths of the physical plane. Also, gratitude is a good tactic in the face of apparent lack.
