All Fear Is Bondage

"There is a time for departure even
when there's no certain place to go."
- Tennessee Williams

L-I-F-E has a way of complicating things -- whether it is the beauty of a rainbow of bright colours and happy days, or the deep, cold, enveloping darkness of India ink with no peace in sight, or merely the tonal grays that lie in-between. Whether the complications are of our own doing, or circumstances beyond our control, life can (on more occasion than not) be more cruel than kind.

"We do not remember days,
we remember moments."
- Cesare Pavese

M-O-M-E-N-T-S -- those tiny fragments of time that weave together to make an hour, a day, a week, a month, a year -- that make up our lives. Yes, it is in those moments that the strongest, and most vivid, memories are cast. Often, it is those tiny moments of sheer joy that erase those larger spans of pain, disappointment, fear, worry, and many of the other emotions that rip at our very heart.

"To most of us the real life
is the life we do not lead."
- Oscar Wilde

So, it is in these hours of darkness -- these India ink waves that keep crashing, that block the sight of my hands that I know are directly in front of my face -- that I must remember, reflect, and hold on to those moments that gave me happiness, joy and peace.

current mood: Frightened of the unknown that lies ahead
current music: Nothing but absolute silence all around me

This Author's Profile

♪ I am

Susan Reno-Gilliland, known as "Miss Kitty," an Irish lass, a true Southern Belle; a writer, photographer, animal-lover, dreamer, stargazer, totally tangled (or is that entangled?) in relationships, slightly obsessive iNFp with stories to tell! . . . (fascinated by forensics, human behavior, pushing all the right buttons of men I find interesting, and seeking utterly-sweet revenge without any repercussions.) I am a Friday's Child. Friday's Child is loving & giving.
