the problem with time . is we think we have so much . when there’s so little
we still recognize . something by its name, even . removed from context
a delicate shell . was once all the protection . its builder needed
if what’s underneath . is not properly maintained . a structure will fail
shadows on our path . are often just protection . from the elements
trying to hang on . to something, once it’s over . just creates a mess
a lighthouse stands watch . like a guiding principle . to show us the way
as the newborn leaves . flutter in dappled sunlight . nothing else matters
not knowing the path . to take, means being open . to any surprise
when something happens . incomplete information . can lead us astray
