Connecting Dots

Just had a Hospital visit with a Cousin. 
Day after my birthday.
Received a call. 
Another Cousin passed.
Hand of time descends Generations.
We came together.
We moved apart.

Not all memories with both are positive.                                                                           We carry the burdens or set them down.                                       

move on knowing we came from one source.

Sharing experiences now long set aside.                                                                   Seeing differences and recognizing similarities.

Happy for their times of celebration.                                                               Sadness for losses along life's journey.                     

Not all memories are cherished.                                                                                     Pick up an eraser and forgive.                                                                                           Pick up a pen and enlarge.                    

How long will my journey take? 

Will I start where I'm going forgetting where I've been?                

What, which, when, how -- will I be able?                                                                   Recognize. Develop ways to cope. 

Lives lived and living can vary and change.                     

How we measure, apply and use often are within our grasp.               

Times & places we did not see for what they were.                                                   Remembrances that can harm or hurt.

My life. Theirs. Ours. For what time we do not know.                                               The privilege I have and may lose is to determine my paths.

Trust, belief, caring, sharing times made to recall.

Will this also be lost as we age; is it always the only way?

Looking for answers to questions and finding riddles instead.

Memory holes replace clutter.

Why THIS journey and not another? 

How do we end when we made no choice to begin?

We were given time. Choices along the way. 

How much can we handle, manage and accept?

Do Not Blow Out Candles. 

Light them instead. 

Search for your tomorrow in each day that remains.

Become, grow and give to others. 

Be aware they watch & wait.

Your journey renews each day you are given.

Waste Not These Precious Times.
