Guiltless
I just want to lay in a hammock today. There’d be nothing at all wrong with that - no justification demanded, no excuses needed, and no reward redemptions required. I’ve finally awoken to what it means to be alive and human. That is, what it means to fully recognize my tiny and precious life, and then to revel in it, without any compulsion to defend my being or to resent yours. Would that I could always remain in my hammock. And yet life is no more this one aspect than any another. Difficult as it may be to let go, the awesome thing about my life is it is forever becoming something else.
