It seems strange; a world of uncertainty before me contrasts with the blinded, happy life I left behind. They say 'ignourance is bliss'. From what I see they must be right- all that ever seemed solid and steadfast now glimmers, fades, and returns like a mirage: behold! The new chapter. To my left I see the hovering ghosts, for they cannot stand idly by, and too much I am reminded that they see much the same as I do right now, which makes me wonder if I too am the ghost in the corner of the others' eyes. To my right, is the world as I know now: the mirages play across a surreal world where the things that aren't possible become the things that stir and disrupt. Above, there is still hope; the small blessings we have everyday, some small and some big, that have made it so that the world, though uncertain, still appears much the same as it used to be, though not completely. My friends are a rather large blessing, and quite possibly are the only reason I have chosen to endure this; Thank you. it has always been my belief that our lives are loosely directed by the hands of fate. Our general direction and our times of arrival and departure are not our choice, and nor should they be, but what I am trying to say is that it is up to us to decide how we will look at what we are given and how we will act. It is up to us to decide if life could always be better or if life could always be worse. I will end with this last statement: please enjoy what you are lucky enough to have while you have it.
This was something I wrote early on in the summer, during a time when the world as I had known it for years ceased to exist. If ever there was a time of uncertainty, it was after a crash that took the life of a father, husband, master artisan, and friend. In the uncertainty that follows such an event, the lines that define reality begin to melt and this was my perception at that time.
