You say that I don't care.

It's not that I don't care. It's just that I have already learned long ago - that nothing is permanent.

Not by choice.

By loss.

Of course I care.

That is why I love what is right in front of me with all my heart. That is why every moment of my life I take in, breath in, see clearly, touch, taste, hear every detail.

My heart breaks open and pours love on exactly that moment and embraces it.

And then does the same with the next moment.

To fully feel each moment in front of me.

Because I know that I only have so long in that moment and then it is gone.

So when you come to me with your regret and I just shrug.

Then you turn on me that I don't care, because you are living in the past or the future.

It's not because I don't care.

It's because you have not yet learned how to live the way I do.

I shrug. - 

Because after that moment you've told me I don't care - I am on the next moment - taking it in - and you are on your past or future worries, regrets, and fears.

I hope one day to see you........

in this moment.

POLITICS WITH A 6 YEAR OLD

POLITICS WITH A 6 YEAR OLD:

Kyle: Mama who are you going to vote for? We voted today at school.
Me: Oh yea, who did you vote for?
Kyle: Mitt Romney.
Me: Oh yea, I thought you liked Barack Obama.
Kyle: I do like him, but he has been president for 4 years and I thought I would give Mitt Romney a chance. Who are you going to vote for Mama?
Me: Well last time I voted for Obama.
Kyle: Will you vote for

 Mitt Romney too, like me?
Me: No baby. I can't.
Kyle: Why not Mama?
Me: Because baby I don't believe in the same things that Mitt Romney does.
Kyle: Barack Obama likes pizza.
Me: Me too.
Kyle: *giggles*
