Lately I have been overwhelmed with the most disturbing thought. I don't really mean disturbing in a negative way, but in an awakening of how profoundly true the one liner my Mother used to utter in a nonchalant way is. "Hay mas tiempo que vida." It stirs my heart and brings tears to my eyes when I say it in silence and I can't say it out loud. Time is going by so fast and I find myself trying to force my mind to remember every precious event. A simple sentiment I suppose, but when contemplated by a woman, namely me, who has lived a whole lifetime without the company of the mother who she quotes, I can only resolve to live and love the rest of my life as well as I can. I started a list when I turned 50, a list of things I have learned in my life so far, and while I know that I have a lot more to learn, the biggest lesson is that we do not know what tomorrow holds. So, as novice as my writing is I will post anyway, because there really is more time than life.
