Why the sea is boiling hot

A new year has more than begun, & nearly a year has gone by since this blog's incarnation, thus the time has come, as the Walrus said, to talk of many things.. If not shoes, ships & sealing wax then perhaps just a random tho't or two.

Inasmuch as the walrus' forum was seaside, the fact that all things have their own ebb & flow seems apropos. Although I am a poet (&, yes, my feet DO show it ;->), the give & take of each aspect of life is inescapable. Not only do each of our actions create, more obviously, reaction but, moreover, ripples. Therein lies balance in the making.

Furthermore, any inaction creates a void. Perhaps that is all that is happening when a friendship starts to wane. Granted, everything to its season &, admittedly, the shorter the life cycle - the shorter the seasons. So, the inaction that inevitably comes w/my younger friends as their lives continue growing & evolving cannot help but lessen the friendship.

However, that very lessening is a direct result of the increase in other areas of their lives which simply means our friendship has served its purpose. Upon loving who they are/were, the true appreciation was for who they yet could/might be so I find myself now - as ever - equally sad & overjoyed.

The tide will always be a cherished wonder & the power of the moon will never cease to amaze me. I only hope my own energy creates naught but good ripples...
