time warp
I am now re-connected to people I haven't talked to in nearly 20 years. It is odd to mentally wander the path from then to now. There are plenty of potholes, unturned/turned stones and other unsavoriness on that road. Some are of my making. Some are of my design. Some are not. Some don't even exist but no one else knows that but me.
Wanna know a secret? There are times in my life I was a jackass (either real or perceived).
Wanna know another secret? That is Okay because so have you, and your childhood neighbor and the priest that baptized you. As my Mom says, "They all put their pants on one leg at time just like you."
I ran so far away from some of those haunting 'clips' that run ad nauseam in my memory. But I have no regrets in life, right?
I read a book recently that postulates relationship is the 'image' God was using during creation. That the whole reason we are on this planet is to get along, fight (since we have free will) and get along again.
My door is open and that leaves me vulnerable. I'd rather be vulnerable and a friend to those who won't take advantage than to be closed off to the world and be 'safe'.
