Passing Time

Time passes on and on and before you know it so much has passed without your knowledge and out of your grasp.  There are people in this world that are rocks of all colors and shapes.  You discover with a simple touch that there is a spirit of such immense light and energy you cannot help but want to collect and hold onto them as long as possible. You gather them up and put them away for safe keeping.  Time passes and there they sit.  Time passes and life's distractions pull you further and further away from them.  You are hit hard when you realize you have been missing those rocks in your life. You become quite sad and heart wrenched when, with one conversation, the reality of the time that has passed between you is time you cannot get back.  In an instant you want to rewind time, go in reverse to the last time you saw one another and spent time together.  You learn they are in town and seeing each other again cannot come soon enough.  You try desperately to rearrange responsibility, set a date and time, but it seems so unworkable and out of your reach.  You are reassured that there is hope, a chance to make things right with time.  You take the first step by beginning to do something you should have been doing all along and that is to write to them, share your life's adventures and daily duties with them.  You know that every day is a gift and that you must share it.  You must make everything right again, look forward to that next meeting, take the chance to see their smile, embrace them in a hug, say how you have missed them and that it is so good to see them.  You share your time before it passes and they have to return to their daily life.  With your rocks of strength shining with immense light and energy, you will share time's passing and ever changing days whether on paper or in  person when time permits all within your knowledge and grasp.
