People

It’s funny how there are people in our lives we always miss. Even when they are with us we know eventually they’ll leave. We know there will be an end to each conversation… each meal… each phone call… each car ride…each day and each night. If you’re smart lucky, you experience each goodbye as it comes. If not, you experience them all at once, over and over again.

The word ‘goodbye’ becomes a dull ache that drools across your lips; your lungs too weak to expel enough air to punctuate the space between now and then with anything more than longing. A longing your body feels like thirst or hunger; only ever temporarily satisfied.

I watch from both sides and take note.

First, a note on your thoughts of thinking of a goodbye that will come tomorrow:

There are two days in every week about which should not worry, two days which should be kept from fear and apprehension.

One of these days is YESTERDAY with its mistakes and cares, its faults and blunders, its aches and pains. YESTERDAY has passed forever beyond our control.

All the money in the world cannot bring back YESTERDAY. We cannot undo bring back YESTERDAY. We cannot undo a single act we performed; we cannot erase a single word we said… YESTERDAY is gone.

The other day should not worry about is TOMORROW with its possible adversities, its burdens, its large promise and poor performance. TOMORROW is also beyond our immediate control.

TOMORROWS sun will rise, either in splendor or behind a mask of clouds - but it will rise. Until it does, we have no stake in TOMORROW for it is as yet unborn.

This leaves only one day… TODAY. Any man can fight the battle of just one day. It is only when you and I add the burdens of those two awful eternities, YESTERDAY AND TOMORROW that we falter.

The remorse for YESTERDAY and the dread of TOMORROW is what drives men mad.
