when the counter was 8
he counted on being a teenager
when the counter was 15
he counted on being an adult
when the counter was 22
he counted on being a success
when the counter was 29
he counted on being happy
when the counter was 36
he counted on being a good father
when the counter was 43
he counted on having a second chance
when the counter was 50
he counted on his wife’s fidelity
when the counter was 57
he counted on the respect of his peers
when the counter was 64
he counted on having more time
when the counter was 71
he was tired of counting
when the counter was 78
he sometimes forgot to count
when the counter was 85
he counted each moment
when the counter was 92
he stopped counting |

I may have left the main trail too soon
impatient with reminders to stay in line
I hung back…

the ground is forever shifting
sometimes a disaster
always be ready to die
joy is to be found in every moment
– a bright blue sky over a burning house
– an island swallowed by the sea, a mystery
– suffering loss, feeling alive
when the plates move
will you recognize the beauty

or wallow in [...]
