Choices

Walking through a meadow; blue sky;
white puffy clouds and flowers surround me.
Dreams of tomorrow; thoughts of yesterday;
but today is only a day.

Live for today; they say.
Plan for tomorrow.
Be prepared. Have no cares.
Nothing and everything is as it seems.

Individual; part of the crowd.
Keep quiet; scream out loud.
Have goals; be open to change.
Be spontaneous; be grounded.

Destiny is an excuse.
Predestination is for the weak.
Be happy, love much
and never stop learning.

Lying in the meadow, I pick a flower,
then another, then another until
I have a bouquet of many colors.
The scent is pleasing the colors are beautiful.

They agree with each other-------and me.
