Reconnecting

I have revisited many places from my youth and young adulthood. A Catholic church reminds me of my religious upbringing. An avant garde neighborhood takes me back to when I hung out with many young people who wanted something different. I don't pine for days gone by but I will not forget how they shaped who I am today.

Am I a relic who is out of touch with today's world of the internet, Ipod, and digital camera? Or am I finding pleasure in the sound of solitude? There are many people who feel like I do. They want escape from all the noise and loud voices that say you must keep going. I say come away awhile and sit by the fire and warm yourself.

Reflect on times when you were carefree. Reflect on the times you wish you were young again. Believe that those times of formalism and frivolity are still within yor heart. Believe that you are still young. Believe that your life still counts for something.

1. Fear or clear, as from accusition.
