Morning 5/12/17

If I woke and I did not hear the birds
would I know it was morning?

Memory speaks silently within you
if you leave yourself open to listening.
What does memory have to say?
Sometimes it is the simple recollection
of a childhood memory of joy. Other
times it is the memory of misfortune
and the sadness which it brought.
Memory emerges by prompts both
obscure and obvious. Memory wants
you to remember. Without this memory
is nothing and for naught.

Our daily crossing of the threshold
between the known and unknown.

The search for happiness does not conclude
merely from one answer. It is a state of
searching and working that will come and
go in our lives. It is not a perpetual state
nor should it be. We must individually
balance the states of our hearts within us.
