A blank page - what to write...?

So, considering I don't have writer's block, it is odd that what I am writing is getting of to a bad start. Not even sure where this is going to show up, so the context is unknown, which leaves the content in that odd state of not knowing what realm it is being created in...

Making some assumptions here - this can probably be edited, so it is not like my epitaph. Though it could be, should I choose to let it stand unaltered until my demise. Oh, now there is a thought with some weight - at any moment, what you have just said or written might very well be your epitaph...or used as such.

Yikes, now this little blank page is taking on a whole new realm - I had better come up with something to put here that could stand up to being actually read.

How would life be if one lived it like there are no do-overs? Like every action is the one time you get to take that particular action. Or sentence. Or inaction. And while you might be able to recreate that action, or circumstance, and have it like it is a do-over, you know it really isn't.

What would be available if this moment, I treated what I did as the only thing I can ever do with this moment. Wow... what shows up immediately is self-doubt about the point of this page, and my writing it. What else might have higher priority than this right now. Oops, there is that. And oh dear, that other. Gotta go. Later.
