My broken wings

in CCC15 hours ago

Sometimes we want to fly, but we realize that our wings are broken. Time passes; it is unforgiving and waits for no one. If time had a personality, I would say it is very radical in its behavior.

Imagination nourishes the soul

Time does not wait for me; it just passes, and if you want to move forward... it continues with you. Sometimes I think it has left me behind many times. I think my mind is no longer as quick and fast as it once was.

On many occasions, I have not been able to keep up with the pace of my life, simply because the situation prevents me from doing so. I want to move forward, and I always ask for strength to continue. Sometimes I think this is my last journey, but I become stronger in my thinking.

My body is no longer the same, even though my mind continues to fight; my strength leaves me, but only my strong temperament gives me strength.

I have been one of those who fall and get up as quickly as possible. Without regrets, without resentment, without revenge. I try to free myself from all the burdens I can carry in my mind and let go of anything that can take away my peace and tranquility.

You know what? When you hold anger, resentment, revenge, and other feelings that weigh heavily on your heart in your mind, you don't realize it, but it's our own body that we're hurting.

There is evil in the world, with all values changed, but I've always thought that it's each of us who does our bit to make life a little more bearable.

I understood this late, because I spent many years of my life filled with anger, hatred, and a need for revenge, but then a light came and brought clarity to my blindness. Now I just want to live in peace with myself. I freed myself from all the baggage I carried with me in my thoughts.

From the contest

For my own good, for my life, for my health, I decided to be different. I don't allow those who slander, hypocrites, and those who are false at heart to be by my side; I just don't allow them to accompany me in life anymore. Because their bad actions have an impact on the world, and that hurts all living beings.

I wanted to keep running at the speed I used to, only to realize that my body no longer accompanies me in such a task. I must walk slowly. Although my mind is still active and flies higher than an eagle, I realize that my body's wings are broken.

A super entry... I am not sure if my body stays behind or perhaps it always did, still the mind is fast and flows, but I like to take it easier (not that it always works) and I look forward to doing nothing. To sit behind the window and look at the busy bees, people with their hurries and worries, I no longer feel connected to.

Once a slow walker there's more time to observe which I like.

Te felicito porque tengas una mente que aún es rápida. Yo en cambio siento que mi agilidad mental va mermando. No puedo estar sentada sin hacer nada, aún cuando estoy enferma siento que pierdo mi tiempo allí acostada sin hacer nada productivo.
Prefiero estar sentada en el jardín y hacer algo por mis plantas, por mis aves o para mi, pero sin hacer nada... no puedo.
Cuando camino más despacio no puedo ver a mi alrededor, porque ahora tengo que estar pendiente de los pequeños obstáculos en el camino, puedo tropezar y caer. No me agradan las caídas y menos ahora que ya tengo algunos años encima.
La vida es así, al principio todo es carrera para sobrevivir; luego es seguir corriendo para estar en todo, y al final es solo caminar. Las alas no te dejan despegar del suelo, ni tus pies, ni tu mirada.
Gracias por el concurso y por dejar tu comentario.

Mi apreciada @gertu, has escrito un texto maravilloso, plagado de sentires, vivencias y muchas enseñanzas.

La vida nos enseña a que cuando tenemos fuerza física, la capacidad de analizar e interpretar todo, también es muy vigorosa.

Luego con el tiempo, se invierte el asunto, nos volvemos más débiles físicamente, pero también más amables con la vida y con nosotros mismos.

Me encantó leerte. Un abrazo.
