A Wrinkle in Time

Wow, it's been a long time, nearly two years..  Hello my friend, my blog, my Deeper Shade of Blue. 

I read you last night, in part, as my body tried to re-acclimate to Idaho time, after my jaunt over the river and through the woods to Alaska. I'd forgotten your pain and your sorrow, my little blog; how much you have suffered and how fun your wit can be.

Yes, I feel as if there was a wrinkle in time, for I have more wrinkles on my face, and time has brought us many tough times; but we are older now, and wiser, and yes, we have learned to like wine.  We curse now and then and we are not so naive anymore to think that love in large portions can cure all ills.  We have awakened to ourself (surely that should be plural) and have come to know more of who we are and what we are capable of.  "No more," we say to our status quo which has kept us caged when we were meant for greater heights and greater things.  "No more," we say to the ones who have held us back, made us stumble and sent us to intensive care, bloodied our souls and shattered our hearts.  "No more," we say to the life that leaves us unfulfilled and lacking in the greatest depths of our being; no more.

The dawning of a new day has come, the unfurling of a new mast with which we will sail on uncharted seas.  New sites, new faces, new love, new life...the aroma of coffee in the morning; I bid you good morning self, 'tis time to wake up and live.

There is fear, yes, of the unknown.  But we were 'born to be courageous,' and thus we move forward, knowing that all the Greats throughout time have failed, but kept going. Edison, you inspire me; Einstein, you amaze me; Plato, Socrates, I am unworthy to speak your names; Churchill, your bowties were adorable; and Abe, if I had another son, I'd name him Lincoln...

I am glad I have kept you, old friend, as we have been through many journeys together.  Let us close this chapter and start a new book.
