The clicking of the clock hands resonates in the background. With each stroking “tick” another second passes, and the inevitable draws closer. The end of waiting, the end of suffering, the end of moving toward the goal or the end of another era draws closer and closer as time passes by. For some, the end is welcome. For others, grief begins, but without any ability to impede one way or the other the pending deadline approaches, and no one can do anything to stop it. But, when it's over, when the end has come, and the deadline has passed, the question remains, what will the living do?
Beginnings and endings occur all throughout life. The beginning of a race, the end of a race, the beginning of a school year, the end of a school year; the start of a vacation, the end of a vacation; the start of a job and the end of a job. Each of these have their emotional tie that brings a person to either laugh or cry, feel anxiousness or relief, sadness or joy, and sometimes it is noted that the end of a thing is better than the start.
However, when it's all over another chapter begins, another saga starts, and another page in the proverbial life is turned. Each end brings with it a new beginning, and part of the management for the emotions associated with the completion of a relationship, situation or circumstance is to realize that the horizons of one's life not only include sunsets but radiate with the light of the dawning of a new day that carries with it the wisdom of days gone by.
Until tomorrow...Why Say More?
