the speed and direction of our path through life are pretty good measures of our age. we race headlong through childhood, never looking back. wanting it to end as quickly as possible. as we get older, we occasionally slow down long enough to savor certain moments. it's a sure sign of growing up. it's only in our twilight years, when our pace is slowed and the long race is nearing the end, that we spend most of our time looking backwards, and we wonder why we were ever in such a hurry. *__everwood

sometimes it's easier to pretend things are okay rather than face a difficult truth, so, we go through the motions, the rituals of everyday life. we hope the comfortable rhythms of familiarity will hold off the inevitable just a little longer. return things to normal - anything to buy us more time. playing pretend, make believe - it might be one thing we never outgrow. *__everwood
