Constancy in Loss

Posted on September 20, 2003 in Book of Days Hope and Joy

Note: This is part of a series based on exercises from A Writer’s Book of Days. It’s something of a rebellion against the Friday Five and similar tupperware content memes.

Today’s topic: Accept loss forever. (after Jack Kerouac).

One crumbles and one falls as a mountain fractures, erodes, and washes to sea. As I grow older and see my faculties deteriorate, I grow more sanguine. A constant has been established. There is no time to waste.
