It’s a little overcast, or maybe a lot overcast, it’s kind of hard to tell. They’re claiming no precipitation, but what do they know, they said it was sunny yesterday when suddenly it wasn’t, it was foggy or misty or raining, couldn’t quite tell which.
This morning, or whatever it is now, I’m stuck on ghosts. No matter what you think of them, there are places where some kind of energy lingers, sometimes it’s a nice energy, sometimes it’s neutral, and sometimes, well, sometimes it tells every cell of your body to stay away.
Is that energy a “ghost?” Is it nothing more than an unusual collection of electrons? That answer is far beyond us right now, but I’m not sure it matters.
We all have hauntings, no matter what we call them. Relationships past; conflicts that change the entire color palette of things; regrets that park themselves and leave the engine running.
Do these ghosts take up space in the physical realm somehow? It can feel that way, whether literal or a metaphor.
I’m not sure what we do with our personal ghosts, how we navigate around them.
How we exorcise them, if that’s not a mean thing to do to a ghost. I’m relatively sure memories don’t have feelings but I prefer to err on the side of caution when it comes to things far beyond what we can know.
Maybe the best thing we can do is leave them where they are, acknowledge that they are and that they were, and try to trudge forward from this side of it all. In our lives, we will leave many things and people behind an invisible barrier through which we can’t reach.
Or won’t reach.
Perhaps the entire purpose of ghosts is to ensure we don’t linger too long, we go forward when the time comes for going forward.
Who is to say?
Anyway, that’s it for me this Friday. I hope you have a satisfying end to your week and a delightful weekend.
