IT’S GOING, GOING, GONE

The Letters of Appreciation

--I see the environment I grew up in giving way, in some ways it's already gone.

The times and conditions; the way the fabric of reality was when I was a child has changed, because of this reality has changed -- but before its all gone, while there is still some familiarity, while there are still memories and people that share common bonds of those memories. While I can still express, let me capture my memories in time in the form of writing to express my gratitude for the experience. To express the deepest appreciation I know how for the life I lived then. To once more reflect on what was but is no more except in memory -because of those already gone and the environment that has changed, memories of a totally different environment. Surely it is through memory God reaches the ultimate relevance to us because it is through this sharing of memory life reaches its fullness in our experiences. Before it passes by and while I still can, it matters not whether I have 1 more day or a million years. While there are still some of us and still some of the environment, let us recapture it in filling us with the blessing of this experience of life we shared. Let us empower our parent’s friends and relatives who are with us in memory and those that are still here. May we reach beyond the boundaries of time and space to touch their lives and empower ours. --Maybe we could capture that past in the present by making a movie before our environment and past is completely gone, - recapture it from those that can still recall. Those that still can feel what it was like then, the environment, the moods -- capture yesterday, to deify and bless those no longer with us, to express the love and appreciation that we may not have expressed then.

By capturing its blessing we move to forgive our fears and hates, the things we once disapproved of about others and ourselves. Let us capture the greatness of the experiences we shared before we are all gone. We can change the frequency of our experiences of those who are a memory now, to be with us once again-- we create a sacred trust of what was, by deifying theirs we move beyond their frailties as humans to empower ours now.

But I wonder if we’d live there any more
