should you be reading this, i do hope you enjoy the book as much as i did
should you be a stranger i should say
if you knew me, if i was shaken from the pages, please donate the book from which i fell
if you are stirred by this- read this book before passing it on
or at least that is what i would do
(yes, that was on purpose)
if you miss me it will pass
you will only think of me with things that make you laugh
i know that and it was what i enjoyed most in life next to Jesus- making you laugh
i kept very few things in my life-
my last bit of advice- things mean nothing, and weigh you down with what some call 'nostalgia' but it is all just greed; things and time
you can not have everything all the time, yesterday is not actually here if you tuck it away
... when you are older you will realize more that living in the present is the only way to actually be 'living'
when you continue to capture and save the past, you are worshiping something dead
be clean, be neat, be minimal - living exists there, everything else is mud
if you are missing someone
that emotion is something you are hanging on to and does nothing for the person you loved, no matter your faith or belief if grief is shaping you negatively- they whom you grieve not only do not care but are completely unaware, so if possible... be happy in your life and do not dwell on things that can not be changed, but instead change the things you never want to dwell on
... known to you or not, when i was 'here' I loved. i loved through my career, which started as service in someway or another to others before i even finished grade school ... i was only happy to be there when i was helping the least of these, the forgotten and those who were like me, less---- and be assured i am much happier now
you can throw this away, or place it in something you unhitch from yourself in this life so to be a bit more free- but whatever you do, please do not keep this- it is nothing if it is only kept
