January: On Existence

Quick note: I wrote this (all of these reflections) last year. It is not in direct response to current events, though it could easily be read that way. It goes to show how timeless Shelley's poem and the lessons we can learn from it are.

January 4

Today's reflection was inspired by Percy Byssche Shelley's poem "Ozymandias."

We explore the fleeting nature of existence and the futility and absurdity of man's lust for power.

• Reflection title: The Sands of Time Cover All
• Creative inspiration: Percy Byssche Shelley's poem "Ozymandias"
• Reflection Question: What person or event is bothering me despite their temporary nature? Will I make the conscious choice to just . . . let it go?
