    • Who decides when it isn’t? Is there a voting process? Or do we just say screw it & flip the status quo? I like the powerful simplicity of this one

    • Thanks for reading.

      It’s more about accepting the present moment.
      🙏

    • I tend to say that when I see that there is no other way. Nicely done.

    • I thought I was you were going in to a Bruce Hornsby song ” That’s just the way it is. Some things will never change. That’s just the way it is. But don’t you believe them”.
      Nice!

    • Thanks Fia and Alexandria for reading and taking time to comment.

      love it 💕

    • I was raised around poetry books, and my dad liked to dabble in it late at night. My oldest sister too, had books around, and hers were more what developed my tastes. Like this write of yours. It reminds me of old Dylan. I don’t know why. yet that’s a good thing to key my old memories of reading his stuff.
      You sir, are a poet. Not just a writer. an actual poet. And that is a very good thing.
