My closest friend passed away yesterday. The trauma of knowing this is too much to bear, but what can I do? All things of this world are finite and all things are born, grow and eventually die on different time scales; they have different start and end points.
I've already cried as my friend grew weaker and visibly showed the effects of disease and illness. What is left for me to do now but continue to breathe and to move. Maybe grow, maybe reach out to someone new.
I wrote months ago about the macro and the micro and that all that ever was is now and ever shall be. So, I guess, my friend isn't really gone - just passed from the realm of matter to that of energy and the energy is dispersing around the world. Maybe that's good.
I just wish I'd had one more good day...

Hey, Brother;
ReplyDeleteUm...are you talking about someone or something? I don't recall hearing about a friend passing.
It's a metaphor.
ReplyDeleteYeah, I figured that was it. Just checking.
