"There will be time."

[fflo]

That phrase just came back & whapped me in the face.

Ker-POW! ZOWie!!

whapp-o.

I have a complicated relationship to that phrase from where I sit at the moment. It's been gone so long I've lost some of my sure-fire memory factual link to it---but not the emotional link. That's not diminished in the least.

Funny that it should come up just now! And, I fear, it feels a little personal to share the details at the moment, other than to say I just got revisted with a zinger I can't believe I'd forgotten, it was so powerful & joyous & just-the-ticket.

It'd take me all night to give you two small paragraphs on it anyway...

Such sadness in it now. Good thing the surprise, and the potential for contemplation, offsets that feeling a bit.

I just have to say, you're meta posts are amazing...

Amazingly annoying? haha

not really annoying...a little inticing, and thought provoking on a more intrinsic level, rather than in concrete examples. It's almost like poetry in that way....for those things it doesn't say, yet rather alludes to.

well that's a lovely thing to say. i guess they usually happen when i'm trying to do some version of jotting down something mostly emotional, for the record for me as much as anything else---and amorphous fuzzy non-concreteness is often involved in the states that produce the urge.
