Turn the page of each day
as if you are savoring a wonderful book.
Don't try to rush to the end
or skip paragraphs--
you will miss so much!
Hold the precious book of your life
in your hands with reverence,
turn the pages slowly and with patience,
let the story unfold
as it unfolds.
You are both the author and the reader,
read with joy!
Let the story write itself,
through all life's trials and tribulations,
let the story find its own way to peace and wisdom.
A fascinating take on life, Hélène. It makes one stop and think.

Thanks Hélène.
"Let the story write itself,"
How true, I'm forever setting myself unrealistic goals in an attempt to be a received idea of "success".
Helene,
Most of us ponder on our lives, reflect on events in the past. You have described it as being enfolded in a book. I often see my past as if it were on a black and white film which shows itself in my mind. Your final line is true when the last few pages of the book are reached we are at peace with a store house of wisdom.
Thank you for this beautifully scripted poem,
Keith

Wonderful, Helene. Personally, I have done a deal with God that he won’t come for me till I have read all my books. (I cheat, though. I keep getting them from the charity shops when he’s not looking)
