Changes ...
All changes, even the most longed for, have their melancholy; for what we leave behind us is a part of ourselves; we must die to one life before we can enter another.
: Anatole France
The changes in our life must come from the impossibility to live otherwise than according to the demands of our conscience not from our mental resolution to try a new form of life.
: Leo Tolstoy
to move one step, uproot the rest, the bleeding heart
the melancholy yearning of what could have been hurts the most
the swift chop of the blade, the last conversation about--well, does it really matter?
no more periods, comas, ellipsis, semi-colons, why?
all fades away eventually, as much as it may feel like, write it! a disaster (a line I stole from somewhere)
and the worse, the worse of all
is to feel my heart has let me down by being wrong, misguided.
someone recently told me "you said the truth. let the he who wants it, take it -- or not. It is inevitably the truth."
well, time is not on my side anymore and changes happen whether we will them or not.
I'll craft the change I envision to be my my life ... and not the incessant chatter from in or out ...
I've thought enough, have planned enough ... now I have to build.
Let the dead bury their dead, said Christ once upon a time
to mean that those unwilling to change and see the light will be each others' consolation.
And looking back, AKA retreating to old patterns, is pointless. Look at Lot's wife, poor thing.
The forward movement will be the death of this life, and that is a good thing.
To say goodbye, well, yes, goodbye is a good thing to say sometimes.
