fast and s l o w

When I came home friday night, I went on a walk in the dark. It was sort of perfect and good for the soul. If there is anything true about this stage of life, it may be disbelief. Disbelief that I'm closer to thirty years old now, instead of twenty. Disbelief that I have given birth to two children. And then there's the impossible concept that time has a mind of its own. I can't speed it up or slow it down or catchabreath for onemoment. Instead, on occasion, I lift up my arms to the sky and let the wind take me. I go wherever. And it feels good. It sort of cures me. (For a while.)

I was driving and the sun was setting and Ben Folds was singing to me.

The years go on and we're still fighting it.

we're
still
fighting
it.  

I'm feeling that way today.
