Mangrove Seeds at the Beach

Barn Ghost

Distant Memories
Memories fade like a ghost in an old photograph in the fog of your mind.
Abandoned
Being left alone can either be freeing or leaving you scratching for the surface of the ocean in which you’re drowning.
Choices
We all have choices to make, but we don’t always make the right ones. Sometimes either direction seems to be a no-win, so we take the lesser of the two evils.
Deep Impressions
The experts tell us that trauma during childhood can leave deep impressions which follow us through adulthood, as if a ghost is always haunting us.
What Was
How many times do we wish we could change the outcome?
Out of the Darkness
There is no way around change. We all must change, whether it be physically, emotionally, and/or spiritually. It is natural to resist change, but it is easier to let go and let be.
