Images of past rewind in a mind but suddenly an unprecedented error and the tape splits and breaks at the point of love. Now in this new world order there’s no manner and means of joining again the damaged that once reigned supreme. But there’s a glitter and shine on the road to the future that neither holds a promise nor the gift of life. Yet walk we do one and all proud of having so advanced beyond and meaningful and into the unknown. How brave the multitudes who sacrifice unknowingly in their forgetfulness and disregard of the seemingly outdated. I’m not brave; I cannot be when knowing that the point of love is the place to stop, feel, see, there’s no future without “you”! Helen / 11 November 2012 |

Good to see you on the Blue Page again, Helen . . . I can see that your absence hasn't dulled your writing ability, you're still as sharp as you ever were. ~*~ If they give you lined paper, write sideways. ~*~ |

Hi Bruce. I thought I'd done enough thinking about life but it seems that once again I was wrong. Thanks for the read. |

No future, indeed, without it. And they wonder why we have a hard time living without it? Nicely done, Helen. Michael |

Thinking about life should never be "finished", my friend ... especially if we put aside self-pity and remember we're far from the bottom of the heap. enjoyed this as I always do you... j. |

Thank you all for your kind comments. I guess that as long as there's life we owe it to ourselves to think about it. May not come to any definite and true conclusions but perhaps that's immaterial. |

Helen, this is so heart-wrenching. A longing for that special someone to share past, current, and future times with, in faith, joy, and loving. Beautifully written, dear lady! JL Love the Lord your God with all your heart, and with all your soul,and with all your mind. Love your neighbor as yourself. |

Thank you, JL - and I spotted a typo with the re-reading. Strange how those can go unnoticed. |

Thank you, Ida. It's not good to rewind but I guess we all do it at some time or other. |
