Time is a face on the water. Time can heal, time can mend. It is the antidote to suffering and pain, parting and misery.
Pain and sorrow are but a few grains in the whole desert called life. There can be an occasional oasis, but you can’t deny the desert. Love is but a mirage that eludes you. Whatever time you spend looking at it is all that you get to bask in its glory. On reaching the place you are left with a huge disappointment, this great lump in your throat that hurts like a bastard. You feel that your eyes are getting hot and you tilt your head up, lest the tears find a terrain they like the best. If let flow, they become perennial in their nature and all but drown you in their briny presence. But, human kind is about survival. It’s about trying to find the next mirage. No matter how many disappointments you face, you know that there ought to be a water source some place! So, you go hunting. You never forget your first sighting of the first mirage, but neither do you stay behind in that place, hoping that it would rain one day and you’ll get your water.
People move on, the first step is the toughest, it hurts like hell. You are ready to wallow in self-pity and go to the extent of fading away from existence. But, understand, you are what you think you are and events have a way of arranging themselves depending on what you think about them. Believe, believe that the darkness will end and the sun will once again rise to warm up your cold limbs, believe you are better than all of this, believe that there is a power that created you and believe also that it has given you enough strength to tide over the current things. Believe in who you are and do not wear your heart on your sleeve. Believe that “THIS TOO WILL PASS” be it happy or sad, good or bad!
PS: "May your days be long upon this earth" and "Time is a face on the water" are quotes from Stephen King's "The Dark Tower" series.
