How do we want to live? Such a deep question.

Quietly, I would say. Filled with love and affection given and received.

Mindfully - always aware of beauty in the smallest corners of nature.

Happily. Within reason, because happiness comes and goes.

Realistically. In the knowledge that things change on the spin of the dice and need to be dealt with.

If I can live like that, I would be content.

This is so beautifully written Alice, I felt I was with you in your temporary places, your words conjuring up the essence of each of those passing places. How do we want to live is such an important question to ask ourselves. I would dare to suggest that it will change over the course of our lives and that is ok. I want to live intentionally, with kindness.
