Had a dream last night in which my nineteen year old son was a four year old again.
I traveled back in time and got to experience the briefest, most tender moment of his freckled face and huge smile. He was wearing his favorite dinosaur fossil shirt.
It made me realize that time travel, even to relive the most precious moment, is probably not good for us. We experience time as linear for a reason. Most of us are not prepared for the depth of joy and sorrow of experiencing the past and bringing that experience back into the present.
and to think we only got this beautiful scene because rob reiner met his future wife during when harry met sally’s production and fell so in love that he changed the ending so harry and sally could end up together too. rip rob reiner and his wife michele :
Hey, don’t worry right now.
It’s normal to feel down and gloomy, especially now that we have returned to true, natural, solar time.
You’re in the darkest stretch of the year.
Try to take it easy and don’t fret if you feel weird. It’s your body saying “Slow down now, rest.”
