Beginnings and Endings

The cycles in life can feel ferocious and these cycles can seem to bind us to a life of unwanted change. We think we'll always be together and that we'll never part. In life there is a constant theme of departure and arrival. This is a truth; everything changes. Seasons come and go. Night and day dance their circular motions, with a travel though space that revolves and rotates, as well as, expands.  So, no space is ever exactly the same. That's why we can never go home and once a child goes off to college they do not return. And why every creature is a miracle of time and space. Take a deep breath; recognize the depth of each moment. And live,  now.

Travellers

In the middle of a busy airport people can rest only for a time before they must depart again. The transitioning is quick, the movements are sharp and the hope is singular; get me to my destination, ASAP.  Smelling the roses and enjoying the moment are states of consciousness that do not exist here and will not be tollerated. The airport is an in-between state of neither here nor there and the only purpose of time is for your next connection. Smiles and kindness are fleeting and rare, saved only for the good surprises of home. If you want to pass through here then you have alot to learn. So then, be prepared to learn something new, and on your mark, get set, go go go.....

Goodbye

How do you say goodbye to a friend so true; this is the mystery of life. Someone who loves you and cherishes you at just the right time. In the moment of greatest need she fits in the empty places you didn't even realize were there and fills them with light and laughter; quiet times and tears. Thank you for your eternal friendship momma. Love you always and forever.
