“Watch the stars in their course and imagine yourself running alongside them. Think constantly on the changes of the elements into each other, for such thoughts wash away the dust of earthly life.”
- Marcus Aurelius
When the past and present collide, it’s like a star explodes in my mind.
In a back and forth with one I’ve known for most of my life, she asked “Where did our youth go?”
after a moment, what surfaced -
“It left before we had time to fully embrace all it encompassed.”
The past few weeks I’ve been reminded of traces of many days past.
Finding that tug into the waves bittersweet knowing it’s a mind trap to wander into the meadows of distant shores
Better to be in the tall grasses we stand in today.
