Topic: What Matters Most

[drippedonpaper]

Throughout my years, every now and then, I get those golden moments.  You know the kind?  When I am overwhelmed with the longing to hold on with all my senses, and hold on, just hold on as long I can to this feeling, this taste, this song.

Other days, it's enough to survive.  I've had times when I told myself, "All you have to do is keep breathing

Yes, what matters changes. There are so many variables in life that can change our world. Take care and as my yoga instructor says: "you do you". Smile.

I did not know you too do yoga. How long have you practiced?

Thanks for your comment!

I've been practicing a little over 4 years. It took a long time to find an instructor willing to work with me so that I could follow her. I was very lucky when a new studio opened here in town and Both Devin, my yoga instructor, and her wife, Deb, have been wonderful and so helpful. I am now in a regular all levels class and need little assistance for most things. (except some inversions which elude me!)

You make some very good points, but you keep repeating the phrase “what matters most” so often that it losses it’s intensity, if you know what I mean? Just my two cents.

I appreciate your feedback.

Profound and very relateable, it is true that what matters changes as our lives move forward,but one thing that never changes is the love of a mother for her chidren,that I truly understand.Thank you for sharing this and good luck with your entry x

Do you have a child/children?

Yes, I will always love my kids. I may not always agree with their choices, but I always love the people they are.

Good luck to you this week too!!

As someone watching their children stumble out into the work and make their own choices (sometimes well, sometimes painfully), I can relate - you have to be open and accepting and loving (and accept that sometimes, you are wrong!)

I really loved these lines: You never can quite grasp what matters most, you can only feel it rumble through your heart, blow apart your life, and leave you making mosaics from the broken glass that remains.

I re-read that line a few times myself.
