Time heals what reason cannot. ~Seneca
It’s interesting
how much difference a day can make.
I am continually amazed at how,
over the course of a measly twelve hours
a person can go from being mired in the deepest darkest pit of disappointment
to walking on sunshine.
This change cannot merely
be a matter of perspective.
Maybe it’s the alignment of stars?
or a shower of meteors?
or
the pull of the earths gravity with the passing of night into day?
“Time” has to play a part.
True, the passing of time wrecks havoc
but
it also creates miracles.
Time is not the erasing of memories,
but the blurring
and sanding
and softening the harshness
some memories can bring.
Patience is the key to living the cliché “this too shall pass”.
Because it does.
In the meantime you just need to remember
to breathe.
And wait with hope.
