......LOOKING BACK TO SEE IF SHE WAS LOOKING BACK TO SEE IF I WAS LOOKING AT HER....

              ....What makes this thing we are tied to, call TIME...
         Can we really adjust to the changes it brings us.....
         How will we move to that beat that calls us to listen,
         in our Hearts our Souls & most important our Minds.

         To think that another Year has past, in the Blink
         of an Eye...or so it seems, now that it's gone.....
         How do we involve ourselves in trying to dissect 
         the one thing we can't Control......

         We keep looking back to see if there was something.
         just one thing that may give us the satisfaction of doing
         that one thing we can't change now that the Year is Gone,
         or maybe it was in Poor Judgement & now that too is gone...

         Do we Punish  ourselves for making that mistake..?
         Or was it a Mistake or just bad timing...?
         Our inner clocks just keep ticking so that whatever we do,
         we can't turn back the Hands of time to correct it!

            
               What a long strange trip it's been....
         It goes back further than just this past year....
         To look at the years before....I have used 40 as a guiding 
         Post to bring us only to a small portion of what the Past 
         has brought us.
         
              Bringing back all those Memories of Friends we have
         lost, then confining in the ones that are still with us to try &
         understand those losses, in hopes of securing the right answer.
         Only to find out there is no 'Right' or 'Wrong' answer.....
  
               We move on from there, to think of just one of those 
         friends sets us back in time & uncertain memories....
         Such good friends they were, joyful & free, serious &without 
         hesitation make you feel that all is well, & we are just young
         without fear of the consequences...to keep moving & not
         slowing down for anyone.....
    
         I had the privilege to know many good people who became 
         great friends & that they continue to inspire me in any of the
         quests that I choose to follow, & that feeling stays with me 
         until it's my time to go with hopes that my Spirit will be 
         allowed to bring more Happiness, Joy, & Love to others....
    

               .....may you all have a most wonderful New Year, 
               and that Love & Peace follow you where ever you 
               shall go......
