Day 32: Children of the Past

Feeling mellow
Listening to Nature's Kingdom - Kirsty Hawkshaw
It's 10:17 PM and raining

Why do we cry when we ought to be joyful?
Why do momentous occasions bring forth tears?
Are they simply tears of joy, or is it something deeper, more profound?
That feeling like you've lost something, that your life or the life of someone very close to you is turning down a new road, and we are overcome by the most genuine and overpowering sense of nostalgia.

We look back down that road and see how far we come, and the realization of how much we love each other is enough to cause us to weep.

It is the realization of our own mortality, the progression of our lives, fighting against the inevitable, not wanting to grow up, wishing we could be children forever.

But why do we exert such futile efforts?
To want to fight the Invincible?
To evade the Inevitable?
To run from the Inescapable?

We want to fly, second star to the right and straight on till morning. Run away from the future, and never, ever grow up.

Time is so amazing, it blows my mind every time I think about it.

Think back to your earliest childhood memories.
Think back to your mischievous elementary school times.
Think back to your middle school years
Think back to your high school freshman year and how it was just a few years ago
Think back to your senior year of high school - that was just last yer!
Think back to your first day in college...

What do you feel?
