What is it that you plan to do with your one wild and precious life, this quote
Brings me to the verge of tears, it’s almost like Ms. Oliver wrote
This specific line with my existential quandary in mind
I examine my life, ponder deeply, I still cannot find
That one thing that I would be able to claim
As my mission in life, that one purpose I would be able to name
As something to strive for- I am living from day to day
Waiting for a revelation to present itself along the way
A eureka moment that changes my life’s course
A realization that hits me with a sudden force..
*
In my one wild and precious life I continue to live
Like an observer, watching life happen to me, not being proactive
In trying to bring about a change around me
I sit back and watch the world passively..
I put in honest work for a living, pay my taxes that are due
I care for my family- in a perfectly ordinary way too..
But is it enough to live my precious life in this manner predictable
Am I realizing the full potential of which I am capable?
*
These questions sometimes keep me awake at night
In this wild and precious life, I want to find and shine my light…
Passion...unbridled
