multitudes of emotions

its 6am and the rain is crashing against the window

the lodger has just jumped on the bed

black against red

i am thankful that this is not a week ago....

how is that.....one day ago....one week ago, then it will be a month,a year.....

time is such an illusionist....

miss magpies wedding is for her to tell

for my part i have multitudes of emotions.....

gratitude that i managed to stand up and say my speech....

how i worried about that..but it was fine...i could feel the support of people who had known me for an hour, a day, a year, a lifetime......

thank you.....

sadness....that there were those missing..the thread still connected and i hoped from high in the starlit rafters they looked down, smiling.....

loss....a chapter ends......a slight shift in the dynamic....

love.....it buffeted us all ..shining rays of light in all directions.....

memories......tied up and locked away, ready to be brought out in an instant.
