metamorphosis

you can spend what seems like an eternity looking for that place that dousnt exist and that person not yet born. but out of a thousand lives lived, soon, the stars will align and fate will smile upon us, making the journey of a thousand lives well worth the reward of just one. sometimes we think "is this is all there is?", and then fate gives us a glimpse of the future, in the smile of a passerby we may not meet for another thousand years, or in a brief encounter that isnt yet meant to be.....so we press onward.....we pick ourselves up and move forward. learning, fighting, careing, onward and onward until our time is chosen for a season of rest.................

I once asked an elderly woman what it was like to be old and know that most of her life was now behind her.
She told me she had been the same age her whole life. She said the voice in her head never aged. She was always the same girl. Her mother's daughter.
She had always wondered when she would grow up and become an old woman. She said she had seen her body age and her abilities decline, but the person, the being that is inside her, never tired. She never aged. She never changed.
Remember, our spirits are eternal. Our souls are forever.
The next time you meet an elderly person, look at them and remember that they are still a child, just like you are still a child, and children always need love, attention and respect.
