We're All In This Alone

"Treasure each other in the recognition
that we do not know how long we
shall have each other."
- Joshua Liebman

"Life is a long preparation
for something that never happens."
William Butler Yeats 1865-1939,
Irish Poet, Playwright.

"Nunc scio quit sit amor."
Latin, -Virgil

I gaze upon the beauty of the perfectly-selected long-stemmed tulips . . . pristine white, pale pink, and crimson rose . . . standing soldier-straight on stalks of pale green in a crystal vase . . . delivered right to my door with a card filled with sentiments. I should be overwhelmed by such a gift since the usual sentiment that surrounds flowers is "they'll just die" and, therefore, I usually never receive any.

And, yet, after all that has happened in the last two weeks, it is as if everything is backwards -- out-of-whack -- not occurring on a normal plane . . . as if someone has taken l-i-f-e and adjusted the video . . . fast-forward, rewind, playback, slow-motion, pause, 1/2 speed, 1/4 speed, freeze-frame . . . nothing is as it should be.

I am unable to wrap my mind around all that is happening . . . I cannot fathom the depths of the pain and heartaches that surround me . . . I wish the mere beauty of books, and poetry, and flowers could ease the agony that is ravaging my soul . . . but, they cannot . . .

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.
