back and forth

times of fight
and flight.
Thankfulness and fearfulness.
None go together,
but a realization seems to dawn on me:
This life is not the trial i thought it was,
but a gift to be enjoyed.
The "things" that we struggle with,
 are only distractions,
from what is truly important:
Being thankful for the apple to be eaten, is the message,
not the other things.
Gifts,
This life,
do we squander it,
or do we embrace it?

whispering here and saying "thank you," for the reminder to keep embracing what truly matters most and not the distractions :)
