This time, this present, not yesterday, not tomorrow, today is for us, for the living, the breathing, the believing, believing in life and love and family and dreams and all the aspects of life we put off because there is never enough time. Our time. Our time is now. There are people of vast importance in our lives who do not realize and in time they may well come to realize their importance in our lives and our importance in theirs, but while we can leave the door open, we should not and cannot stand in the door, waiting . . . waiting . . . waiting ....
They will not find their way home if we wait. We will not find our way if we wait. We can wait no more. We will do everything in our power to love them to the fullest should they choose to find their way to us. We can no longer chase, pull, drag, force them to here, for here is not where they are.
But here, here is where we are. Here in this moment. Here in this time. Here in this space. A space we have allowed to go empty and cold because we fully knew and believed we needed someone to fill the space. When, in fact, while the words are subtle, the difference in mind and body and spirit are substantial, we want someone, here.
