How Sad a Passage

COUNTESS "This young gentlewoman had a father,--O, that 'had'! how sad a passage 'tis!--whose skill was almost as great as his honesty; had it stretched so far, would have made nature immortal, and death should have play for lack of work." -Act I scene i, All's Well that Ends Well.

Crying All Night

A title that says it all, no further commentary added until the morning, now days later.  Much is hidden behind the veil of privacy within the home, keeping up appearances.  Substitute words like magical for the reality in retrospect.  Much must be down to memory, what we care to admit even to ourselves, and what we gloss over.  What can only be gleaned through experience.  All that is forgotten.

Thinking about time, how everything returns to it.  In form and substance.  How if we only knew, decisions would not be fraught with anxiety, and that what is revealed could soothe, even in disappointment.  The way to avoid worry is to avoid thinking about time and its impacts.  Focus exclusively on the now, in the moment.  How funny that the Qatar WC slogan reads: “Now is All”.  As we wait to see about any additional ticket options before this month’s end and a meet-up with Lea from the Europa.  So much unfolding.  AA yips his agreement through the soother.  The little old man.
