“…but there is new life too, and with it, there is hope…”
(Excerpt from the note pinned to a seagull by
a survivor of Oceanic Airlines Flight 815
March 14, 2007)
I once lived in a cave. Sheltered from the sun, I’d smile, talk the talk and sleep in the cavern of a shrinking world. My life was passing; time was passing.
The kids knew…perhaps. They saw, perhaps. But not me. I was busy, of course, protecting the good name of my cave.
Friends knew, perhaps. And saw, perhaps. But not me. I loved the cave— the peaceful cave…and relished both the world it wrought and the solitude it brought.
I liked that I guarded the door—that no one entered if we’d disagree. I thrived on its dusty old resentments, its muddy new conclusions…and I loved, just loved the darkness. There’re no lights in caves – no mirrors –no way at all…to see myself.
Yes, I loved that cave….even as time passed…as my life passed.
And passed. And passed.
One day it all got old. One day, finally, the sounds of silence were deafening. I missed the noise, needed kin, relished friends….and peaked outside.
It was raining; I saw roads to repair—but there was light! I saw my kids, caring not why I’d been inside–praying only that I’d come outside.
I saw life, even through the clouds and I felt love, ‘though some time had passed.
I left that cave years ago, never to return. Today I walk through the storms with my head held high. Today I revel at time, the ultimate gift.
And in a related story: a referendum to repeal the Fourth Commandment was rejected on Long Island this week. The measure carried only one precinct: a cave.
”And I will hold on hope…
And I’ll find strength in pain
And I won’t change my ways
I’ll know my name as it’s called again…”
(Adapted from Mumford & Sons’ “The Cave”)
