Time

Well it truly feels like summer. Staying indoors cowering from the sun due to sunburn on my neck, Wimbles on the Telly. But is this useful? Am I gaining anything from what I'm doing. Every day I reflect and think I could have done so much more with my time. Time is precious and I'm not being respectful of that. But this is the calm before the storm. I've made lots of plans so maybe I won't be feeling this all summer.

One of the best things about being home is catching up with people. I'm starting to realise for myself that feeling I've heard many people express about how quickly people change. I know this to be true now. For myself and seeing it in others. But at the same time, theres no point waiting for people to change, because they probably won't as you expect. People who you expect to grow and step out into who they should be, fall to wayside and become a fraction of who they were. Yet others who you expect to go off the rails find a level-headedness that was bereft previously. But, we can always improve. That's the hope to cling on to, that there is more for us than we currently have. That is why time is important. I want to become the person I should be. Although it isn't so much about the destination but about the journey.

I have an analogy that I've had with me for a while. It goes like this;

Life is like a river. Time is water. Rocks are individual lives.  We will have sharp edges to begin with near the source of the river. As we traverse through life we will get bumps and scrapes. They will hurt, and we will lose parts of us that we have become familiar with. But the end product is a beautiful smooth stone. As long as we stay in the current. The best place to be is the fastest place to be, the Thalweg.

Enough for now. I always feel I rant away but thats exactly what blogs are surely!?

Peace out brothers and sisters.
Let love be your only debt.
