new life

it's a little like starting over now. a month gone and no posts to mark the passage of time. the process had become second nature to me, almost like a religion. and so a time of sabbatical was called for. it was not planned, but as days stretched into weeks it became clear it was needed. as the song says "time it was, and what a time it was, it was a time of innocence, a time of confidences. long ago, it must be, i have a photograph, preserve your memories, they're all that's left you"
it is different now. so often life hums along at an even pace transforming slowly, almost unnoticeably, but sometimes it crashes through a door, marking a clear point of delineation from one world to the next. this has happened. and as i try to sort out this new life i will endeavor to share it. for now i'm still reeling. everything has changed and everything remains the same. i'm slipping through time now, backward and forward. you may want to grab a handle, things might get bumpy from here on out...
