THE BOTTOM
Those who cannot remember the past
are condemned to repeat it.
George Santayana
Sometimes we have to go to the absolute bottom. If we're extremely lucky, the absolute bottom is where we find our inspiration. Sometimes I think that people who don't hit absolute bottom are missing a valuable experience. Then again, living life on the edge of that precipice is no fun at all. The greatest gift is to be able to step away from the edge and live life without the fear of falling.
If we aren't extremely lucky, what we find at the absolute bottom is a trap door that opens on a vast, empty space. The trap door opens and the empty space gratefully accepts the body and the soul given to it.One Day at a Time . . .
I will stop living on the edge;
I will stop regretting my past;
I will avoid the trap door.~ RFH ~
