What is it that I leave behind?
Echoes that proclaim I was here?
Growing ever more faint in time.
Why do I crave acknowledgement
That my time was well spent here?
I send out my voice.
The wind carries it where it will.
But I ask myself what matters more..
A legacy that lives on into the future
Or that I live... where I am right now.

Good morning Marla,
It’s easy to get caught up in wondering who will remember us, how many will, and in what way. But your words also remind me that the most important part might be how we live right now (hard enough!), fully present in our own lives (even more!!!), rather than obsessing over what comes after.
Thank you for sparking this reflection.
Take care,
cheerio,
Rolph

Thanks Marla.
You pose important questions, I think Rolph has a good answer.
