Facticity
What you are, what you had been
Are facts of you
Facticities: you cannot change
You once had,
You have no power over these
Facticities: Undoing, unbreaking,
Unmaking.unloving.
What you are going to be
What you want to become
What you want to have
to hold & to cherish
What you have to die for
What you long &
what you want to give
Are non-facts
Non-facticities:
They are being,
Be-ing
Becoming
And these are our hopes & our wishes & what we look forward to
A warm day tomorrow
A loved one faithful to you
The beloved
The beloved loving the beloved
These are the things we can still change
We can make
Death is a fact
What you do before death
Still belongs to the freedom of your hands
You are alive.
That is be-ing.
Be thankful.
Be always grateful.
Be strong.
Be the good self that you want to be.
These are not facts yet
They still belong to the freedom of your own hands
