The Only Saving Grace




Time is running out. Time slips away moment by moment, a nonrenewable resource, like water evaporating away with no atmosphere to turn it back. The stream of the past is held only by fading memory or desiccated fragments encased in solidified mud. It is born away with increasing speed making absurdity of what I thought mattered much. Insignificant seeming decisions are small turns of destiny multiplying geometrically building to a crescendo I did not count on. I am where I am. There is no forgetting. There is no exorcism for the things that haunt me. I can still only put one foot in front of the other, live and breathe through the world I live in. Opening one’s eyes without prejudice is the only saving grace there is.
