There was a time when, is a phrase heard every now and again. People are sentimental, have memories and nostalgia for things in the past. Time has a way of painting the scenarios in a beautiful, if not lonely way. The Grandma Moses greens and yellows, along with the weathered-fence-post grays all come into play as you express how there was something that went on before now, something big and you were a part of it. Now it is gone and will probably not return. The memory will not be betrayed, but there were a few truths occur then which could speak of that time in terms not so rosy. It is not so much denial, but rather a yearning for the peacefulness one remembers. This is never to be taken lightly. We all look to be filled up with contentment and satisfaction. Actions are required to achieve the feeling. Knowledge of what is good must be accompanied with plans for the journey. Intentions remain dreams with no forward motion if steps are not taken. When desire is great we begin. Soon that will be the time when --- Stanski June 7, 2021 ^
