Time….

I sat across the room….listening…. watching…. fully consuming the words…. the laughter…. all the time that had passed…. hovering like a dense fog… wanting to be consumed.  Time passes so quickly…. with no chance for recovery…. 

It’s been years…. many years…. I remember running around the neighborhood with cousins in Miami… far from our Tennessee home… leaving behind the winter coats and gloves….to trade temporarily for shorts….tees….. cousins.  

 

The days from then….to now… are forever lost…somewhere…. Yet, the memories are there…here…with me….  As I get older…. strange how things change… how I want so terribly to ensure those bonds….the memories… the opportunities…. are available.  Now…. just realizing how quickly those bonds are created… the bond of family…friends….blood… how important it is.
