Only the emptiness is false.</p> <p>There are paths we wish we never traveled; decisions we wish we never took; actions that we wrestle to tear out of our memory, rip out of our hearts with agony and remorse.</p> <p>But it is never life that we reject.<!--break--> Life has meaning, life is good -- not a moment of it can exist without a spark of truth throbbing somewhere within. Including that moment you regret. In fact, life’s most precious diamonds are hidden in the shadows -- or even buried deep below the mud.</p> <p>In the end, we reject an ephemeron, a thing that never was. Not life, but its shadow. Not the jewel, but the mud. An absence: that the light-portals of heaven closed when you did what you did. Wash away that void with tears -- there remains only a precious moment of life rescued from the deep earth.</p> Mon, 6 Oct 2008 12:00:00 EST
