Life is Fragile: A Yoga Teacher’s Poem
July 11, 2017by Amy Caldwell
Life is fragile
enjoy each day
make time to be
grateful
joyful
playful
We know this life is temporary
why not live
like it’s our last day
Be kind
love
see the good
don’t sweat the small stuff
be here now
find a way
All the things we know to be true
but forget because we get busy
and distracted
and afraid
let’s choose to remember
and when we forget,
remember again,
sooner
What would we change if we could
if we can, why not try
if we can’t, how can we find peace
with what is
sometimes terrifying
sometimes heart breaking
one human moment at a time
one moment in time
What is it that helps us remember
our aliveness
our connection to breathing
our power to love completely
just humans being
Life as we know it
could end tomorrow
why not
be
here
now
