Time passages, a song that I can hear like an ear worm, by AL STEWART; buy me a ticket on the last train home tonight...
I can hear that tune, and it puts me right, its just one of the songs for me. Time has a way of healing, even the most broken heart, I know, but I also know that it can make us forget the best things as well.
In order to keep our mind and our hearts healthy, we need to revisit the childhood people that brought us through life, we recognize the way they carried us, and we love them. The simpliest act of listening and visiting someone can change the day for both of you, and time seems to pass differently, it does not start and stop with night and day, it does not seem to have boundries of the clock, we can remember things that can take us back to a day , when we were absolutely different people. This can be difficult, and it can be uncomfortable, but it is cleansing and always forgiving. No matter what you think about your past, you are the only one that sees it your way. You can carve it stone forever, and live in a cave, hiding from your past or write a book about it, or you can choose to rewrite what is the only life you really have.
I recently watched the story of WALT DISNEY , what an amazing story, full of leadership and real commitment to his family, but he had his historical oposition, and in the beginning of his career, he also had his artwork stolen. I believe we all have our artwork stolen, to some degree, and we can so choose to be scorned, or we can learn from it, and be better for it. If Disney had not been able to move forward from his issues, we would not have many great ideals for artist today, starting with residual royalties, trademarked names, and yes, Disneyland. Which I know some do not like, but did you know he alsmost put it in Portland Oregon? Think about that! ALso that his own Mother parished in his big house, from a gas leak? What did he have to do , to forgive himself for that? I can now understand the symbolic death in every movie he had, the passing of a parent is by far the most devastating thing to endure. Children are supposed to go first, as they say, but sometimes, this is reversed as well, and in the case of the famous it can be the most unfair expose of peoples free speech, impeeding others freedom.
Time passages: "Well I'm not the kind to live in the past, the years run to short and the days too fast, the things that you lean on are the things that don't last,"~ I am grateful for every moment and love the family that I have been so lucky, blessed and honored to have, its never too late to become another person, as we say in my family....turn into a 9 year old hindu boy, or maybe "something more", be the architecht of your life, and design the place where you live. Its all up to you.
