Learning Curve
Posted on 2005-05-17
When all hope is extinguished a light flickers on in the darkness. It's not about memories or loss. Solace is bred in truth. Healing happens not when we are crying, not when we are laughing, but only when we are learning from the two.
Maybe I have to sit quietly and wait. Maybe I have to be virtuous for once in my life. Maybe a watched pot never boils, and we should all be careful what we wish for. Maybe we've all got a thing or two to learn. Maybe it's time to shut our mouths, open our ears, put down the pen and read a little.
Maybe I am wrong, maybe I am right, but the one thing that's for certain at this moment in time is that as long as I am still breathing I am still learning. I don't know it all yet, and I know that I never will.
