I am getting ready – to get ready – to go. So many seasons have past, so many chapters are now closed. The leaves have fallen. I know they will be back, with me here or not, just as each cycle of life will begin and end – endlessly. Perhaps, so will I.
I really have nothing to leave behind, nothing of any true value but the love I have carried in my heart. The love for those – so many- I have lost – too many. Lost to death, indifference, lack of mutual feeling and/or needing a different path.
I might say, without thinking, it’s been a rough road but upon reflection I have been blessed with so much. Not just of things but with the bitter sweetness of love.
My heart now is full. No more room for anything more. If anything I wish I could empty it then perhaps I could stay.
