don’t you wonder what was…

Imagination of bygone days…

“Every summer, like the roses, childhood returns.” Marty Rubin….Sometimes, I can recall being a playful, imaginative child caught up in pretending games…I can connect to the memory, but not the emotions.

Memories…

‘By the time you’re eighty years old you’ve learned everything. You only have to remember it.’   George Burns

Sunset at the Oregon Coast…

A tranquil memory preceding  losses and change. Now it helps give peace and strength.

The spot is near Arch Cape, Oregon

the past…

“The past beats inside me like a second heart.”  John Banville

Frances Lake, Eagle Cap Wilderness, Oregon, 1981

abiding…

“Everyone, deep down within, carries a small cemetery of those he has loved.” Romain Rolland

hazy, but real…

“For it is up to you and me
to take solace
in nostalgia’s arms
and our ability
to create
the everlasting
from fleeting moments.”

Sanober Khan
