Interesting.

The past cannot be redeemed. What has been and what might have beend both bring us to what is.To know grief, we must be in the river of time, because grief thrives in the present and promises to be with us in the future until the end point. Only time conquers time and its burdens. There is no grief before or after time, which is all the consolation we need.

Nevertheless, I stood there, waiting, full of hope that was the wrong hope.
