Stillness
I long for the stillness that was so inherent in my youth. I was so rarely inactive when I was young and yet time slipped by at such a slower rate that it was calm. And I was calm. Then minutes passed as hours and months as years. The future held so much to fear and hope for. Now a year passes as if it were but a day. Where did it go? There is still so much to fear and to hope for and yet If that is all you do you are a fool. Fear and Hope are both foundations and when I stop to look at life I found that I had never learned how to build more than a foundation. I set about teaching myself (and learning from others) just how to go about putting up the walls, building a roof, filling the house. Just don't forget the decor. That's how you can tell one house from another :-)
