"Live in the present! "
they tell me while immersing
in reminiscence
"Ζήσε στο παρόν! "
λένε και βυθίζονται
στη νοσταλγία
We must immerse ourselves in reminiscence. Great message here, Kostas!
Often we mourn for our past deeds and we become frightened of our future..we waste each and every present moment in thoughts of past and future.. If we live totally in the present moment with no fear, craving, sorrow and tension then life becomes a celebration.. Very nice senryu..10++👍
Live in the present! This is a principle laid down by all wise people. In my Reiki poem 6- six principles are practised - all of them emphasise- 'Just for today' A very good poem Kostas!
To continue, I take my inspiration from Sanskrit literature where solid facts of life and happenings are expressed beautifully in verses called shlokas, and that too in perfect meters called chhanda.

I would like to translate this poem
This poem resonates with me. We have to live in the present and let go of the past. Yet, we have to consider the past too to guide us in framing our future. A wonderful Senryu.
