The Emotional Vortex

This entry is dedicated to those who I have lost contact with, or will loose contact with...

Time is such an amazing thing to think about.  Time can change many things before we even notice that they have indeed changed.  And once those things are lost, they are never again recaptured.  Cherish what you have, while you still have it within your grasp.  Learn to let it go when it is time, but, always retain a small measure of it in your spirit, to know that yes, you have lived, learned and survived.  Maybe a bit scared, scarred, worn, weathered and maybe even knocked down, but, never completely beaten, for here you still remain, within the realm of time.

Time can take away friends we thought would never go away, and then, within a fraction of a second, we can find new friends.  New friends are great, but, I love the old ones too.  Sometimes I wish time could stand still, if only for a little while.  Just long enough for us to realize the friendships we have, so we can savor the moment before it is gone forever, lost in time that is ever moving forward.  Because we never know what tomorrow will bring.  How do we know which friends will remain, and which unfortunately will not?

I don't know about you, but, the great friends I have met and spent time with, have left a mark on my spirit that will never, ever go away.  Within the confines of my mind, they will remain, for me to recall an image, a word, a phrase or a feeling shared with them.  I will always miss the ones that are already gone, the ones that are leaving and the ones that have yet to leave.  None of them will ever be completely forgotten.  Maybe misplaced in the reccesses of my mind for a time, but, never completely gone. 

I hope they know this, remember this.  And if they happen upon this journal, may they know it was written with them planted firmly in the fore front of my mind this evening.  May they always know they are thought about, cared about and wished the best for.  That they will always be a part of me.   :o)

  HI  Moonpie,,,
   I have learned over the years that friends do not always remain in your life, sometimes they come and go, sometimes  they are there for only a few minutes, like that older gentleman on the plane for me when I was 19, or like when I met that very nice group of young men that kept me company on a long  bus  ride  from southern California to upstate NY when I was 18. I often wonder where these people are. I know the older gentleman is now in his next life or at peace in heaven.     They all have taught me a lesson or two about life in general. I for one  will always hold  you dear in my heart wherever my life leads me.
