Patterns

I long for a view of the un-caged sky

I have a problem with time. I try to keep it but it constantly escapes; running continuously. But I suppose that is what time should do. To be just in time is all that we can hope for. To want to be beyond time is naive. But how about trying to stop time? They say to give it time and the "it" will heal or disappear. One day I will learn to let go of the "it"- to be just in time. But for now, let me indulge in a memory or two, for here time has come to a standstill.

"Time doesn't act as a fixative, rather as a solvent. But its not convenient to believe this, it doesn't help us get on with our lives so we ignore it..."
~Julian Barnes, The Sense of an Ending
