Time to Go

“It’s time now to go

for everything must end.

I’ll see you soon I know,

knowing time is my friend.”*

All life is leavetaking.  Saying hello, only to say goodbye.  None of us escapes change.

The quote above is from a song, “Time is My Friend” that Julie Andrews sang at the end of her TV show in 1972-73.*  Those sentimental words have survived all these years in my mind and heart.

This year comes to an end.  Soon we’ll see what history has to say about it.  We welcome in the new year, again with many problems left over from last, but yet with the hope of embers glowing small, waiting to be stoked and stirred up again into a fervent bright fire of activism, urging humane and just means to work together- to unify -our hearts and our minds, to forge a more perfect union, using simple qualities of acceptance, understanding, fairness, honor, respect, selflessness, and love.

Time can be our friend.  Let’s treat it that way and quit wasting it on bickering and blaming.  Let’s move forward, together.   Happy New Year.     Theresa M
