tending your garden


Some people are there forever

They are part of the fabric from which you are woven, embedded in the very fibers of your days and nights, so much a part of you that without them the world would be less your world, more just a strange place you are forced to inhabit. Generally you can count them on your fingers and not run out of fingers.

Then there are People that enter and leave quickly, but leave marks. I wonder about them. Is it their intent to leave marks or is it just a careless nature. Still, the marks are there to be dealt with either way, aren’t they?

There are People who hover around the edges, never quite committing. Not a good buddy or a friend, but someone who calls, assumes, presumes. Someone who might be fun, entertaining, asks for nothing much, gives nothing much. When you notice that they’re gone, you shrug.

Sometimes there are People who step into your life for a few years, throw it up into the sky, fill it with stars, make it shine, then disappear as if they were never there. Oh, how the light dims when they leave.

And the ones you never see but could call at 3AM and they come, no questions asked.

So many people in our lives, the ones we need, the ones we want, the ones we carry, the ones who carry us. All of us connected at a single point, each of us believing that point to be themselves.

This is your garden. Tend it well. Make sure the weeds are pulled so the land doesn’t sour. Shine your light on the flowers often, fill the air with laughter.

Rejoice. This is the where you will find the only true peace you will ever know.
You cannot conceive the many without the one.

 I had a friend who tended her garden with the greatest of care. She never took a single thing for granted. today, she left the strain of the world behind to journey somewhere where I trust she will find beauty as grand and as gentle as her soul.

there is a piece of me unravelling but the center holds. the wind is at your back and the devil doesn't know you're gone so run girl, run.
You cannot conceive the many without the one.

 When I read the title I thought this was gonna be about sex, I enjoyed it just the same. I'm the kind of person that leaves skid marks on your sheets then disappears.

 I'm sorry that your friend has moved on, wicked. But as you implied, she'll always be with you.

I'm usually not someone who's prone to brooding about mortality but it's been on my mind lately for a couple pf reasons. This post is helpful.

 Got to have a few weeds in there... it keeps life interesting and can be entertaining.

The loses are what make the memories so valuable... but we are all doomed to be memories some day and none will be remembered longer than a lifetime.
