Embrace Life from Within, TWC

I was  honored to be asked to host this weeks two word challenge and I think it is fitting one for right after the holidays when the pattriotism may be dying down and we get a bit more introspective.  The two words are embrace life, something we should do with gusto, the next moment in time is not promised to us. 

 Your view of the world and the life that you see, 

is totally the opposite of what it appears to be. 

It's not in the real world that we see all the time, 

but it's quietly happening in the back of your mind. 

An opportunity is growing ...to understanding yourself, 

and you can't even read it from the books on the shelf. 

Light enters darkness, when you go that next step. 

here's something unique you must learn to accept. 

The world as you see it ...that great illusion, 

is totally the opposite, and you must reach this conclusion. 

You only go outward to get further in, 

you only get further, when life's embraced from within. 

"Life is not measured by the number of breaths we take, but by the moments that take our breath away"
