Remembrance

Remembrance                                                                                           August 21, 2021 
Waves rise and what is produced shines in both joy and sorrow.  Then it is gone.  Washed away but remembered for a time.  Oh time, such a fickle companion!  Even during my short time here on this earth what I long to remember is lost.  Where does it go? 

The shape of things morph, fade, becomes ersatz.  Ancestors, lineage, loved ones, a thread held for a time, then lost no matter the intention to hold clear and true. Yet we pull and we find we are always connected.  The trees stand guard.  And even they are felled.  Is there a place of true remembrance? 

Perhaps it is the essence, not the specific details but the core essence that is truly remembered. After all, all that is left is Love.
​
We are connected whether we know it or not.  When we come together for even a short time, we remember and we draw strength.  We are nourished to live life fully and respond in the best way possible at this moment in time. 

"When we try to pick out anything by itself, we find it hitched to everything else in the Universe.”  John Muir
