This is a beautiful message, Paul. Thank you. I love to ask myself "who does the moment call for?" or "what would love do?"

No comfort at all, you're right.

I almost decided to start drinking. I always almost decide and never do though.

I'm not sure (but then I don't drink either)

I'm just very tired of being mindful.

Yet what can one do if "he's standing by a window", I guess he's there being mindful. At least I am

Thank you, Paul

Beautiful poem. I believe we only truly understand ourselves when we are being mindful. That’s when our soul rules our brain.

Being mindful enough to forget… and graceful enough to know how to hold that door open for a few seconds. Seems like a good place. Thanks Paul!
