Be

I have been missing from this space. This is a fact.

I doubt anyone noticed my absence because I am probably the only one who bothers checking out this space. This is an assumption.

Facts and Assumptions.
Our lives are contained within the premise of these two words.
Paths we choose
Journeys we take
Decisions we make
The stories that our lives become,
Are penned 
In the ink of these Facts and Assumptions.

And yet when it comes to stocking up our facts and making our assumptions
We hardly deliberate
run amok with emotions
we rush.
We rush to gather our facts
We hasten to make our assumptions
And
then we wonder, how come we ended up as and where we did.

Breathe
Hold your breath for a moment
And 
For the length of that breath
Hold 
Yourself Still
Be
Just be
In the length of that moment 
Allow yourself  to just Be.
How long has it been since you have done this?
Been in just the moment?
Celebrated being just alive?

How long has it been, since you have found joy in just your own existence?
Not in your accomplishments, 
But 
In just being you.

In this race against time
Life has become a list of things to do

When was the last time, you gave in to the impromptu?

Laughed without a care
Breathed instead of sighed

Let go your fears
Cry
Laugh
Rejuvenate
Feel
Celebrate
Live
