Nostalgia is not everything it’s cracked up to be, so they say. Personally I love Nostalgia to bits. I love this thinking back into the shifting whispering fog that is time and sort of seeing but the seeing is fading through the fog until all we are left with is the Nostalgia the pain the passion and the memory but as you so eloquently say this memory is fading to as the gap between the depth of what happened and the here and now grows ever greater... Loved this thank you Mark also thinking back
