Soft Beginnings

Describe an item you were incredibly attached to as a youth. What became of it?

As a child, I held a small, time-softened book,
its pages kept secrets no one else could look.
It vanished one day, as childhood treasures do,
yet left me listening inward, and writing life true.

A Life Unchained by Clocks

What are your thoughts on the concept of living a very long life?

Whatever the years, may they never feel long,
For joy lets time flow like a familiar song.
When giving outweighs all I gather or gain,
Even time softens, unburdened, unchained.

Neither Then nor Yet

Do you spend more time thinking about the future or the past? Why?

I don’t linger too long in the past I’ve outgrown,
Nor chase the future yet unknown.
I choose the present, steady and vast,
Where lessons breathe, and moments last.

Joy, Unscheduled

Do you play in your daily life? What says “playtime” to you?

I don’t pause life for play, I play as I go,
In shared laughter, soft wonder, and moments that glow.
Playtime is presence, a heart unafraid,
Finding joy in the ordinary, wherever it’s laid.
