Will I Be Forgotten? 10.26.20

We humans are built to wonder of our own mortality, of our legacy that will be left behind when we shuffle off this mortal coil. We spend so much time looking and questioning what will come at the end, we miss all that explodes around us before it comes.

I wonder often

if life will bless me with age,

if I'll make it long.

Two things come to mind....the Egyptian text "The Immortality of Writers" and the Beyonce song "I Was Here" https://youtu.be/i41qWJ6QjPI

Given that you've written published work, you've bought yourself some significant time beyond the years you might be granted. And even if you hadn't, the ripples made on the people you've touched keep going. Maybe our egos want validation....but I think our souls make the impression, even without it.

Enjoy the song. 😊
