If Ever I Never
I never knew Iโd find you
While still searching for myself
If ever I never remind you
You saw me like no one else
I never felt the way I do
Everytime Iโm near around you
If ever I never tell you I do
I canโt imagine then with who
I never dreamed I could be new
Truly, believing hope was through
If ever I never am new
I am each time I look at you.

Did you spare yourself some kindness this morning as the first thoughts of the day welcomed you to another day, chapter or journey? Will you dance/sing? Or perhaps youโll show and sell? Maybe youโll keep writing while also creating more stories to tell? Who are you in these very first few moments of each day? Iโm not asking you to open your eyes just yet, because it doesnโt matter where you might be or whether anyone is beside you. That ainโt you.
Take it easy, breathe first and be born again, those yesterdayโs are gone. Youโll never forget them and theyโll only be a part of today as much as you allow. Donโt stop being here or thinking about tomorrow, again yesterday is gone. What are you doing today to make it better than yesterday?
Iโm currently aboard a paddle boat tour of the Cumberland River in Nashville Tennessee as a โparty of oneโ writing this as easily as the boat and music promotes itself forward towards its goal and destination. As much as I intentioned to write this chapter yesterday, it simply never became. However a conversation with someone physically waking up in another time zone prior to boarding and the atmosphere created here created this now.
I share that with you only to help you be in your now. Iโm not selling you riverboat cruises or anything else. Iโm just trying to encourage you to find yourself. The world will wait and if it canโt then it will have to survive without you. Who you are is what makes the world, the world doesnโt make you. You also create you.
