'How I wish they were still at the “tell me a story” stage, when I was in complete command of our time together, when all their attention was focused on my never-ending stories and me.'
How I wish they were still at the “tell me a story” stage, when I was in complete command of our time together, when all their attention was focused on my never-ending stories and me.‘Tempus fugit!’US poet and biographer Carl Sandburg called it the coin of life.
No matter what we do, whether we spend it well or waste it, time has a way of sweeping past us, taking all our moments, happy and sad, to places from where there is no return. You cannot call them back or do it over. Time flows like a river, relentlessly, and stays on course, never moving back. You can’t chase time. You can’t catch up.I often imagine there’s a place somewhere out there in space where time goes, carrying all the minutes and hours we have used up wisely or otherwise.
But like it or not, our minds often travel there. Our thoughts stray to times long gone by, to what it was like, good or bad. And we revel, or we cry, and we dwell there a bit, trying to recapture some of the magic we once knew, even only in our thoughts. You feel safe there. And you bask in the happy times. The bitter stuff is over. All has been resolved and dealt with, done.Some years ago, I saw my best friend slowly lose all her memories. I saw the lights go out in her beautiful green eyes. It was heartbreaking.
