You are not standing still
Through the air through the years through the memories there is so much of us wrapped up in the time that passes. As our history is made there are lives that run out of their time and we love and miss them. We lose some of ourselves when family friends and or loved ones pass. But it awakens in our hearts mind and soul hidden parts of our existence and purpose in the world. We learn the value of things in life that we failed to connect with prior to these life changes. Just like the great glaciers in Alaska that never stop moving our oras and our spirits keep moving forward. Time will allow no one a standing still moment even when we don't move our feet. The circles of life keep moving and the attendees get old and change constantly. We must cherish what we have when we have it and keep rolling forward. Even if we think we're being cautious we still are taking chances because life demands it.
