Embrace Throbbing Vital Signs

"Time and distance

 Both illusion of the mind

No beginnings, no ends."

Alex Z. Moores

In life, we are moved as pawns across the board.  We try to remember the correct progression to successfully  arrive on the other side, but there are too many altering moments where one movement works  one time, but defeats us in the next.  The thoughts preserved in our hearts may not graduate with time, but the memories will awaken the original emotion

Even that which we repress can unexpectedly surface delivering pain and suffering as though we were trapped in that past moment.  We can rationalize, deceive ourselves or rearrange the facts of our history in hopes of finally placing our emotions to rest.

There is a gift, however, in receiving a memory from deep in the past.  It may trigger an authentic feeling we have not experienced in years.  Perhaps, it is joy or exhilaration for something outside of our lovely selves.   If we can step outside of time and distance, allowing our hearts to expand in the present moment,  we are given the opportunity once again to embrace throbbing vital signs of our life.
