"In the midst of the ordinary time (kronos),
extraordinary time (kairos) happens."
quote from Dead Poets Society, Professor John Keating
With each step....
I step out on
this mystifying path,
filled with surprises
around every bend.
The “choice” taken has
made me strong
when I was weak.
With each step -forward
I remember - what I left behind,
and can never forget
all those years
of love- laughter-tears,
&
with each step
the distance grew
between you and me.

On ne peut avancer sans connaître des hauts et des bas. C'est la vie. Mais on dit qu'on en ressort plus fort.
ReplyDeleteOn croise alors beaucoup de choses. Souvent sans s'arrêter. Et c'est ainsi que, sans doute, on passe à côté d'occasions extraordinaires. On ne peut vivre que de souvenirs. Il faut ouvrir les yeux et saisir la chance.
Bonne journée, Joanny!
good morning joanny...each step another toward freedom eh...letting go, walking away can be hard yet also the healthiest thing sometimes eh?

ReplyDeleteJoanny, there is such a gentleness here and such a bittersweetness. Just lovely.
