Jude, if we don't diss of that which is of no value to us in this life, and embrace that which is...we are forever held captive by the past which is gone forever. We all need to move on, explore new horizons....Hoping that AD is NOT on the agenda for the past :)

| ... Goodbye to all that inhibits and to the dust that clings or stultifies. Time, sometimes, to open the windows and to breathe the fresh, clean air of pastures new and as yet undiscovered. There is no such thing as standing still... we are either moving forwards or slipping back; status quo is a myth: balance and tension are hotly contested and are fought to be maintained. And, as it is too late for me to think straight, I'll just take a leaf out of your book and say "Goodbye!" Kate xx |

Robert, this is such a fine and touching write. Brings to mind the verse in Ecclesiastes Chapter 3...
[1] To every thing there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the heaven:
[2] A time to be born, and a time to die; a time to plant, and a time to pluck up that which is planted;
[3] A time to kill, and a time to heal; a time to break down, and a time to build up;
[4] A time to weep, and a time to laugh; a time to mourn, and a time to dance;
[5] A time to cast away stones, and a time to gather stones together; a time to embrace, and a time to refrain from embracing;
[6] A time to get, and a time to lose; a time to keep, and a time to cast away;
[7] A time to rend, and a time to sew; a time to keep silence, and a time to speak;
[8] A time to love, and a time to hate; a time of war, and a time of peace.
In His Peace...Allen

| hmmm... perhaps I'm off base here, but this poem seems strangely full of hope and the vigor of living life to me. I just didn't read it (either time) as sad. with phrases like "truth touched by a beam," the "golden ladder" and best of all that magic window representing clarity and vision into the deeper world, this one just takes everything a notch higher and provokes thoughts of exploring the way with balance, joy and integrity. I have no idea why I just typed all that - as if I need any of my AD family who loves me anyway to think I have gone completely nuts. Whatever. Good poem :) |

This poem brings to mind that old song "Turn, Turn, Turn." "To everything there is a season." Very little in life remains the same and moving on and elevating to higher planes is what we all must strive for. Not everyone, even those we love, nor everything, even those things that mean so much to us, are meant to remain in a forefront position for our entire lifetime. We must move on...memories sweet are often part of our evolution...It is sad to say goodbye, but sometimes it is essential, for us to reach our destiny. This is an excellent and insightful offering, Robert.
Take care,
Sherry |
