Why?

Why is it always Monday morning? I feel like I am in Groundhog Day.

The Tide of Life

Life is not linear like time, but moves forward like a tide. We rush into the future but, like a wave, the past drags us back so that sometimes we find ourselves back where we were ten, twenty or even thirty years ago. I feel like that every time I sit in my school hall listening to the headmaster - I may be the parent now but I can still smell the polished floor and see the dust particles in the air and I am transported back to my childhood.
People too move in and out of our lives. A friend from the past can remind us of what it is like to feel 21 again, just like a song or a smell can take us back.
For me it is a secret pleasure that just sometimes I am not the person I am now but for a moment in time I feel a connection with the person I was then.
