Today is for a Quiet Reflection
© 2008 Inga Birna Jónsdóttir
Today is for growth
Today is for visualization
Today will never come again
Today is forever
Today is but once
Today I thought about the future and it came to me
I made love to the world with my eyes
Today is filled with news about others –
Is there anything new about me?
Today my spirit grew.
It became an eagle spirit.
It demanded scanning.
It demanded dialogue.
Told me to take off.
Days without listening to my spirit
are holidays in nowhere.
Today was duty,
hardly any pleasure.
Duty is what others make me do.
Pleasure is doing what I want to do.
Lots of people know what´s best for others.
I am the only one who knows what´s best for myself.
