I love the check of updates. We need to check on our family and friends but also we need to update ourselves from time to time as well. I love the way you worded this poem.
Good poem! Unique use of the phrase "check for updates" to remind us to reach for something beyond ourselves. Although I must ask what the purpose of the Gorilla is?
What wise advice! Life's to be lived and all it contains to be seen and wherever possible, studied, understood but, if not the latter- at least accepted for what it is. Nothing's too large or to small to observe, we learn purely by acknowledging presence. To live totally our eyes and minds should remain open from whatever and whichever perspective, live life, think it, think of it.. use it to grow.
Maybe i'm just a little right, if not - apologies because I'll still continue to mull over your words.
I like this very much. Very staccato flow to it. It hammers out like punches in places. I love the moral responsibility you allude to in the underlining message. Nice piece.
"Check for Updates"
Do I take that to mean that you alone are responsible for your tomorrows, and the only way to do that effectively is to be on your guard, and be certain that yesterday's actions are suited to today's circumstances, then, being ready (AND willing) to change whatever you must?
A very thought provoking write, my friend!
Unique title and way to say we should always question..move forward with curiosity and intrigue..mark our own path so to speak...we hold the key inside of us..beautifully conveyed love! xx
