Memory Meadow (Moderated)
This is a safe place to talk about your memories. I've created a safe meadow where you can put the memories and let the gentle breeze quiet the pain. Many of the memories are difficult to talk about, and may be very difficult to read about, so please take gentle care of yourself.
this is what we think
by The SCsometimes we think that the people we love the most, the ones we've made room for in our lives, have a more precarious place. they were chosen over many other people, to share our dreams and our hopes and our fears. they have traveled so many roads with us, the Us of multiplicity.
in some ways, they have so much to live up to. unconditional friendship, if there is any such thing, love beyond barriers, a belly for hearing hard things. we pick them, as they choose us. yet, their place is balanced, or so it seems. anything in the world can tip it, unsecure it from it's moorings, take it away. so much lost in so little time. and our balance is also thrown. the infamous undertow, luring us out to sea. trust dashed to smithereens.
we think there are people in the world that we can meet and trust. we think there must be some good somewhere. we think that all this can't be for nothing. "this" being--Life. that great mystery, the unknown adventure.
we laugh, now. hope flares in an otherwise devoid heart. we know now that nothing can really beat us. we know that we have survived 30 years of meetings and loss and meetings, and yet again, loss. our heart tears with each passing, but heals again, stronger and wiser than before.
we learn as we grow. we grow as we learn. that's the way it's always been and will be.
we step out of our tragic past.
The SC
