Everlasting life

* title inspired by a quote from Ralph Waldo Emerson

Words 

might not have 

the desired effects. 

Actions 

may not bring 

the results you hoped for. 

Thoughts 

are no guarantee 

of change.

Forget about outcomes.

What's the point? you may ask, 

but that question right there, 

will show you the path of love.

Embrace from the tips of your fingers 

to the depth of your bone marrow, 

that nothing that has happened to you was a given,

and an important truth will be revealed.

Align your actions 

to true aspirations 

not to change anyone, 

or it’s cool and praiseworthy, 

but because you care.

Accept, whether what you give 

is reciprocated or not, 

you still want to do it, 

and that realization right there

will open your heart.

So, plant your intentions kindly

attend to the fruit of your actions,

and play in the vastness 

of the cosmos just because.

Have certainty that your caring 

is what makes the difference; 

and that by experiencing joy, 

you learn what is worth doing.

And that trust right there

will become your everlasting life.
