If we run from our Memories, they catch us !

Musings on an Early Sunday Morning

If we try to run from our memories

 

We run from ourselves

 

       and meet again

 

at the beginning.

 

With no progress

 

        no reward

 

        no victory

 

   over time.

 

As the saying goes

 

       "Wherever you go, .. There you are !"

 

it is true

we get cues

from where we are

 

time stops

 

       at a feeling

            a sight

            a person

            a scent

 

from before --

 

But we must meet our fears

       our memories

   as an old friends

   and commune with them..

forgive them

   and love them for what they are

a part of us...

 

our wisdom

our growth

our pain

 

Every soldier

fights the good fight

to survive as a soul

 

I embrace you -

       my memory

I love you

       my brother

I heal you

       my destiny.
