the breeze of remembrance

i touched it's corners---the emotions of it's softness entered me and i was once again over-whelmed--
the silence of that familiar fragrance hung in the dense air, like a spirit, calling to me

oh it wasn't that i minded, in fact, it could be said, it was a comfort--like an old record, one finds in a dusty old second hand store----i knew i would play it's story over and again in my heart

such blissfulness, remembered that way at least---probably wasn't as idyllic as the filters of time, allowed it to be---but i embraced it

 pondering if time were perhaps a circle---existing, waiting for us to notice ---to recognize, it's voice--it's cadence--it's perfection-

    1. Typo error. Argh. Meant to say:

      Perhaps Time is a circle, as Life is. I sometimes wish it would slow down to the way time felt when we were under ten years old - when summers seemed to last much longer.

  6. Lovely words, Lynn. The filters of time have a way of softening our memories, thank goodness. We can make the choice to remember the good parts and ignore the bad... which we are unable to escape when they are actually happening.

  8. If time is a circle, maybe we can have 'do-overs.' Or maybe it forces them, so we finally learn.

  9. Beautiful, Lynn. I was looking over the wedding pics, and what a beautiful event it turned out to be! (Beautiful is apparently my word for you today.)

    I nominated you for a blog award today--hope you'll come grab it. You deserve it. =)
