wisely and earnestly.

Of course it was a disaster.
The unbearable, dearest secret
has always been a disaster.
The danger when we try to leave.
Going over and over afterward
what we should have done
instead of what we did.
But for those short times
we seemed to be alive. Misled,
misused, lied to and cheated,
certainly. Still, for that
little while, we visited
our possible life.

the secret of health for both mind and body
is not to mourn for the past,
worry about the future,
but to live in the present moment
wisely and earnestly.
