The Present Will and Testament of Todd Wolfe

(Inspired by the will of another. Thanks Leah)

I have written my will and it brings me comfort.

But should it? Why would it? Knowing

some day when deaths tendrils rise up to take me down,

I will Rest In Peace knowing the things I have commanded on this day

will be done...on that day, that someday, that somewhere, that out there.

But I breath today, on this day.

I hope today, in this space.

I live today, in this life.

And so I will...today....

I will love.

(Dear friend, read that again. I think you misunderstand me. Will is the verb here, love is what we are verbing. Don’t be misled, this is not some statement that we will love. No, we will do this now. I am doing this now...I am willing my love to you.)
