Your words elicit very positive thoughts about living life to the fullest, and then, finally, knowing how to say goodbye gracefully. A life well lived in a single poem.
Everything in life progresses and there is never a goodbye without there having already been a hello. By far, the worst place to be is stuck, where we feel that moving in any direction is impossible. Being flexible and accepting change, with dignity and grace, is the truest sign of maturity. In a lifetime, there is so much to see, so much to experience that at times, we have to let something go, perhaps only temporarily, in order to pursue another area of interest. A new year is on the horizon, pregnant with opportunity.
Farewell. Your words will live on Brother Jude...like this example here "a time to leave (reestablish)"...and this example here I give to you for inspiration, Brother Where Dost Thou Dwell, the poetry of Thoreau...see what happens when an artist can take a master's words and repurpose it? Living or dead...Wonderful Jude...the song lives on...and on...http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZpSzq6ZGg5E
Brother where dost thou dwell? What sun shines for thee now? Dost thou indeed farewell? As we wished here below. What season didst thou find? ‘Twas winter here. Are not the fates more kind Than they appear? Is thy brow clear again As in thy youthful years? And was that ugly pain The summit of thy fears? Yes, thou was cheery still, They could not quench thy fire, Thou dids’t abide their will, And then retire… -1843
