~Now~

Near Sunset at Silver Springs State Park, along the bank of the Silver River

 

With full awareness, knowing,

I am not guaranteed a future,

I strive to live in the Now.

 ~

I don’t want to relive, Yesterday,

Nor, do I want to live for, Someday,

Where I want to live is, Now.

 ~

Now, is where my dreams come true,

Now, is where I truly thrive,

Now, is wherever I am.

This little Audubon’s Warbler hopped from lily pad to lily pad hunting for its evening meal!
"I told you there would be more photos!"  "Do you like my home?"
“I told you there would be more photos!”
“Do you like my home?”
