Time does heal our souls (#1459)

If there is one thing that does salve and heal my soul it is time. Everyday offers a new adventure even when we have suffered through the loss of someone or thing that has tremendous emotional attachment. We are busy here in life and staying busy is our nature. So even when we succeed or have wonderful relationships we must continue to move forward to more and more great hopes and dreams. Likewise it is with loss. We must continue to move forward as if the loss had not even occurred. Why? Because although we always will have that pain with us it will diminish over time as we continue to create new realities for ourselves. We are made no promises about how our lives will turn out nor are we immune to the harshness life can bring. But what we do have is time to move on and move on is what we will do whether we want to or not. Living with pain is part of how this world operates. When we come to know that death is part of our reality, then any of us who ever love, which if truth be known includes all of us, will feel it's crushing effect. There is no other cure or if not a cure a treatment that will take that pain away unless it is time. By moving on with our lives and continually reaching for the future, we are in essence treating our pain with living life. Our memories will have to be enough for us to keep the magic of love in our hearts for those people and things that have moved outside this reality, and for that we at least have something. This may seem a bit cold and harsh but really the truth is what it is and the sooner we accept the truth of what is before us the sooner we will find that life doesn't stop giving us new opportunities to love again.
