Pieces of Time

There are thing in our lives that change us all classified in increments of time; an instant, a second, a moment, one summer, that year. The time is not nearly as important as the cause and the effect. Some of these pieces of time we never dreamed about. Some of them we planned for all our lives. Some fragments were wonderful and magical and some were tragic.

I have had many of these pieces of time, as I am sure you have, all gone now with more to come than the stars in heaven. They sneak back sometime to be made fun of or to seek justice or to reveal their unseen true intent. A smell, a place, a face, a photograph, a name all can create a mini time warp in my mind and heart where fact and fiction collide with narcissism and belief.

For the better or the worse of me these clips have and will change me, sometimes removing and sometime adding little chunks of who I am to my whole existence and to others.

All these little pieces of time have come and gone and come again like a stair; each tread and kick plate a different shape and color yet ever leading onward to take me to that eventual journeys end.

Yet, no matter what dream I follow or what bolt of lighting strikes, I perceive all the orchestration going on in the midst. I can sense the working together of all these events to make me into who and what I am supposed to be. Ever changing, ever growing, creation of a Love that is beyond my ability to reason why.

Is any of this a surprise? Is any of this too great a circumstance or change? Could I choose differently? What a gift we have been given. That all of these pieces of time keep coming and Love keeps changing us.

It must not be about me after all…………..
