October knew, of
course, that the action of turning a page, of ending a chapter or of shutting a
book, did not end a tale. Having admitted that, he would also avow that happy
endings were never difficult to find: "It is simply a matter," he explained
to April, "of finding a sunny place in a garden, where the light is golden
and the grass is soft; somewhere to rest, to stop reading, and to be content.” [Neil
Gaiman, The Sandman, Vol. 4: Season of Mists]
Years end, new years BEgin, people meet, go away, and on we
go unwrapping Life in great rips of paper, or at a slow pace, removing tape,
gently, oh so gently…
A year ending means a new one will BEgin. And Life will go
on. Or, NOT, depending on matters far BEyond my pay grade.
It is always important
to know when something has reached its end. Closing circles, shutting doors,
finishing chapters, it doesn't matter what we call it; what matters is to leave
in the past those moments in life that are over. [Paulo
Coelho, The Zahir]
Calendars help us know the ending and BEginnings. And
clocks. And the sun and moon.
But sometimes we canNOT see the place where Now is Past and
Now is Future.
It’s the Present.
I love you, Currie
