Le Depart (The Departure)

Things run their course. Its the part of life that continues to ground me.
There is a tendency to want to hang on....you know because it is against human nature to let go, but in a way its also all i know of this life.
The departure i call it for lack of a better term or way to express it.
Sometimes we have to say goodbye , sometimes we have to leave , because it IS the way it was written for us .
The crazy thing that always gets me is the memory of something that at one point brought such joy is now the center of that which causes the dull ache of letting go...
And as far as i have seen all of life is this way , the ebb and flow of things that continue to move into and out of our life, and i really don't recall when it was that i became so used to it (that's a lie but a story for some other day)
But if only more people understand how to live in full hue, to not take things that they have for granite, to not let moments pass them by...
maybe i put so much into the moments i have , that its easier to let go because i am fulfilled in the knowledge that i did all i could when i could.
And maybe all we can do is hope to end up with the right feelings of sadness or regret about the things we leave behind....
I like to think that everything we have ever lived ,ever held ,ever loved, is forever inside of us making us a better version of who were yesterday, because we are richer for the experience , grateful for the chance and wiser for the knowledge we gained ...
Its the only way i can depart and still be whole, not be parted out to all that would take a piece of me if i let it.
Even in scripture we see departure
“Nevertheless I tell you the truth; It is expedient for you that I go away: for if I go not away, the Comforter will not come unto you; but if I depart, I will send him unto you” (John 16:7).
I find such a moving statement in that scripture departure is a must but we are not without the promise that we will recd a comforter in this .
and i continue with the s.o.t.d which reminds me to continue to think upon the good things the worthy things the things that we have learned....and in all things even in departure to give praise to God who planned all the days of our life, both happy and sad beginning and the end....For God IS good and his love endures forever and it is THAT thought that continues to uphold me and bring me peace even in times of melancholy.
Rejoice in the Lord always: and again I say, Rejoice. Let your moderation be known unto all men. The Lord is at hand. Be careful for nothing; but in every thing by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God. And the peace of God, which passes all understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus. Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report; if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, think on these things. Those things, which you have both learned, and received, and heard, and seen in me, do: and the God of peace shall be with you. Philippians 4:4-9
