unstoppable spin of the earth
Wanting it to end as quickly as possible. As we get older, we occasionally slow down long enough to savor certain moments.
It’s a sure sign of growing up.
It’s only in our twilight years when our pace is slowed and the long race is nearing the end that we spend most of our time looking backwards, and we wonder why we were ever in such a hurry.â€
It’s a dark presence that hides in corners and jumps out to surprise. It’s the wicked whispers that makes the taunting and ridiculing hard to ignore . If you knew exactly what it was like you’d run. If you knew how dark it gets inside, you’ll regret. Bit by bit. Piece by piece. It starts to fade away. Existing no longer seems necessary.
So we go through the motions, the rituals of everyday life.
We hope the comfortable rythyms of familiarity will hold off the inevitable just a little longer.
Return things to normal…anything to buy us more time.
Playing pretend, make believe - it might be one thing we never outgrow.â€

And you, you I miss so much it actually hurts. I don’t understand why, but it does. But you have no idea and you never will.
