Moving On
I liken it to another bite of the cherry, oh you loved that first bite and relished it's sweetness, you never thought you'd need more. But it's gone.
Then one day another cherry appears and invites you to have a taste. It's tempting, will you enjoy it as much, will it be as sweet?
Try it…..don't let the memory of the first spoil the unknown pleasure of the second
Memory can be a jealous Mistress, she wants to keep you to herself and keep all others out., preventing them from sowing the seeds of possible pleasures.
Be kind to her but be firm do not shut her out, let her see you have not, nor ever will forget her. Her juice will always be the sweetest, but you must be brave and try that other bite of the cherry. , or you may be left behind, . Life goes on, ride it.
