Emerging from the darkness of grief…
Time.
It either passes too slowly or in the blink of an eye.
But it does go on.
Sometimes we notice because it changes us.
We’re a few pounds lighter… or heavier.
We have new hairstyles… or less hair.
We have new beliefs… or have abandoned all beliefs.
The passage of time can make us restless and long for something new and exciting,
Or find us complacent and content with the routine and ordinary.
Time can find us safe and secure in the stability of family and long-time friends,
Or empty and grieving for those no longer with us.
Whether we realize it or not, whether we want it or not, time changes us.
I’m not the same person I was five years ago and I’m grateful for that.
But who am I?
