It's about the times we miss out and never fully recover the loss. We want to get past our pain and often do rise above the ashes of a burnt out compartment. However long ago and way back in time a memory need only surface for a moment... and we remember something good. Something so good we'd rather not forget. Revisiting old times can be hurtful yet offer experience to aid another point in our path. Limiting what I remember is no longer an option. I want the full picture so I can get the full reward of what I've learned 'this' time. A friend, lover, spouse, best buddy, doesn't matter; when you're far away... you're so far away ~
[[A song from Carol King: So far Away
Doesn't anybody stay in one place anymore? It would be so fine to see your face at my door Doesn't help to know that you're just time away Long ago I reached for you, and there you stood Holding you again could only do me good How I wish I could, but you're so far away.]]
Hi Dixie, lovely post and a great song. You are posting at quite a rate these days that I can hardly keep up!
ReplyDeleteI just commented on something a day or two ago only to find two more posts.
(That's not a complaint!)

I'm fascinated by how memories sometimes pop into my mind unannounced. Just a while back I remembered a cat I had as a child called Mixie. No idea why she appeared after all those years.
ReplyDeletebazza, thanks for not complaining. However-some, I feel as if I'm moving like a herd of turtles. Ow, nevermind, it's not about you!!
ReplyDeleteMike, I'm fascinated at the date/time reference you left this comment.
ReplyDeleteMixie? Hmmm, well after all it's about those good meow-mories, and not about you!!
