Time stood Still?


I suppose it is really easy to assume that time either accelerates or decelerates in order to accommodate our pain and or excitement. Sadly this is never the case , indeed we find ourselves experiencing hundreds of emotions, coming into contact with different personalities- some offer us love, while others do nothing but bring pain. We pause, we hold onto the last breath and we pray or curse or cry. It doesn't matter- time does not wait and when the connections are made - ones sought or otherwise.... life demands a synopsis of what was learned.

There are no excuses, and if we get caught up with the sadness or the euphoria - we learn nothing and we find ourselves repeating painful lessons that should have been nothing but 'oy' memories.
The thing is, everything that we experience - live through, can produce the deepest chuckle. We laugh at the past- or really I laugh at the past stuff, because it all is so trivial once we get the lesson. Sometimes getting the lesson is pretty difficult because we wrap ourselves around the pain and refuse to just let go.

Life is really quite simple, and the sooner w realize this the quicker we'll accelerate past the pain and silliness that we find when our realities intersect with others. In life we will always encounter problems- always. Those of us who are quite lucky will first experience problems in our families. Painful- yes, but once we reach the point where we realize that holding on to dysfunction and painful living is just not us- well then that's when the real living starts to percolate. Life is like melting chocolate- you have to watch it - you cannot leave the darn chunks in a double boiler and watch PBS. The double boiler only know how to boil- it will not judge it's strength with you precious chocolate.

Our lives are similar- no one has the power to mind our lives but that sweet special person- 'you'
Cheers,
