Benjavisa/Getty Images : “Heart Alchemy”
“IF”
If only if would disappear,
I’d live in the now.
Be present – right here.
If only if did not exist,
I’d quit rewriting the past
with a twist.
If only if would go away,
I’d stop regretting things
I can’t unsay.
If only if would loosen it’s grip
I would not make
that future trip.
If only if would just depart ,
I’d live each day with an
open heart.
If only if would leave my ear
I’d live my life
Free from fear.
If if and I had never met,
I’d be able to forgive
then blessedly forget.
If only if would disappear,
I’d live in the now.
Be present- right here!

Thanks Amira,
Have looked through various sections & can’t find it. Closed the app as I have recently opened a few on my I phone. I am going to have a go at painting the image, thanks for the prompt 🙏❤️

It is really inspiring because sometimes we truly need to question ourselves what we really want in our lives. Some daily routine? Or maybe just a bit more then that? People are just too stuck in the past and the future and therefore often forget, how it is to live just “now”.

so very true… and miss so many precious moments that never come back, so we should not take fro granted the gift of NOW, that’s why the call it the “present” 🙂 ❤ Amira

Reblogged this on On a wing and a prayer and commented:
Received this lovely post from Amira recently & the image in particular drew me to it. I thought the image would be perfect for a new front page for my blog. On further enquiry with Amira she gave me the link which contained so many amazing pictures. During my search I found an alternative & perhaps more meaningful image.
Word press happiness engineer was more than helpful in sorting me out (distinguishing between image & icon etc etc).
I do hope my update hasn’t caused any confusion.
Thanks again Amira .
Thanks for reading & happy Easter to you & yours.
Take care & keep well.
❤️🙏
