A life that once was, no longer is, another that never was now is. one chapter closes to open another. to skim back is to see images of lost loves, thoughts of a long life in such a short time, so many events in such few nights. Skimming forward is to find thoughts of dreams that might rise or fall, and fantasies that may or may not be fulfilled. you'll see lessons fortold by a stranger's life. To close this book is to end it. A life has come and gone. To pass on this book of knowledge is to give rebirth to a life of change. ..
