Enough

In The End

Tara Sophia Mohr

In the end
you won’t be known
for the things you did,
or what you built,
or what you said.

You won’t even be known
for the love given
or the hearts saved,

Because in the end you won’t be known.

You won’t be asked, by a vast creator full of light:
What did you do to be known?

You will be asked: Did you know it,
this place, this journey?

What there is to know can’t be written.
Something between the crispness of air
and the glint in her eye
and the texture of the orange peel.

What you’ll want a thousand years from now is this:
a memory that beats like a heart–
a travel memory, of what it was to walk here,
alive and warm and textured within.

Sweet brightness, aliveness, take-me-now-ness that is life.

You are here to pay attention. That is enough.

More thankful goodness

Thankful for:

8) Rad ladies who take me on their pub-crawl. I went on my first this past weekend and it was so much fun. So many great memories. I laughed so freaking hard and had a blast.

9) My husband who watched the boys so I could go.

10) Rian's school. I am truly thankful for where my little man spends most of his day.

11) Dr. Seuss. I had wanted to post something celebratory on his birthday, but obviously didn't. We have recently checked out Horton Hears a Who! from the library for like the 8th time. I LOVE THIS BOOK. (And so does Ethan, apparently, who has been having me read it at least twice every day for the last week. Not that I mind!)

12) Running friends who drag you out of a warm, comfy spot, (at 5:30 AM!!!) next to a cuddly 4 year old who snuck into your bed in the middle of the night, just to run.

14) Rian and Ethan's passion about our solar system. Looking at the night sky has never made me want to learn more about it than when checking it out with them.

13) My boys. I just love them so much.

14) Ruby Red Grapefruit. It is so yummy.

15) Fights over who gets to play the piano. All four of us. This is a pretty sweet "issue" in our house. I love it.

15) Song of the day...
