The Path To Self Destruction
Sally Goodloe Christmas and the New Year is a time of reflection. In truth it is simply an artificial line in the sand yet for some reason, it serves as a bookmark, the end of a chapter and the beginning of a new one. A book is a wonderful parable for life. It has a beginning and an end, a start and a conclusion. When it comes to an end we place it on a shelf where it eventually becomes forgotten. Perhaps someday, someone will pull the book down and re-read the story, bringing the characters to life once again. We all change in life. Day by day, hour by our we age and the exterior shape we once occupied ceases to exist. Despite this fact, sometimes things in life are hard to accept, even hard to look at. They can be things we love or things we hate. Either way, there are times when the healing process is so slow the reintroduction of them into our lives takes time. Sometimes it never happens and we end up dying with the ghosts of our past. Sally Goodloe
