Teach, Learn, Share

i have poetry and music in my soul, and humour in my veins, i love philosophy, my mind is full of ideas

So any way the days roll on the distance gets greater and we all change. Find those who once we knew are now different people from those we once knew .i have seen it so many times before. Life’s like that, it twists and turns in ways that sneak up and take you by surprise. Till, in the end the surprises don't surprise you any-more. They just add resignation to your repertoire of emotions and you move on. Then one day you wake up and find another year has passed. Another step towards that inevitable day, arrivals and departures share the same terminus, it's a busy place people coming and going sad farewells and cheerful arrivals, I’ve seen them all. It’s just life and life is, well, unique and unpredictable. Would you listen if I tried to tell you, would you doubt my words or ignore the gentle pitta pat of my tears. Cold and unrelenting though this isolation is I still remember warmer moments when this Arctic loneliness didn’t gnaw at my bones. Funny how the river twists and turns, meanders, and rushes headlong to pour its heart out in to the ocean where at last all emotion is diluted by the overwhelming sea of eternity. Eternity the space where love lies bleeding under a night sky of twinkling stars, their mirth untouched by individual sorrows. Such a small thing one’s emotions in the scheme of things really.
