Poncho:
I recently realized that I have journeyed very close to the center of time. At this place everything is frozen. As you travel away time increases as the radius increases. Slowly you rejoin the fast pace of our world, only to notice that so much has pasted you by. As you travel close the the center of time, everything else will continue on as if you are still there. In actually you are stuck in a moment. The world around you passes by leaving you in that moment which you want to experience forever. These journeys are most widely experienced by lovers and parents.
As a lover, who wants to let go of that feeling? Who does not charish the touch of another? Their love brings them to the center of time. Their love becomes all that they see. Everything else is lost, forgotten, and pushed aside. This is how I journeyed to the center of time. More than once actually. Never actually hit the dead center though. If I did I would not be writing this now.
Parents are probably the most common tourists to the center of time. Their children are the reason. Mothers who never want their children to grow up, fathers who hold the experience of laughter, love, and passion so close to their hearts. They are happy in these moments. They don't want anything to change or take away their feelings. They want to experience theses times for all time.
As I speak of moments, I do not speak of just breif periods of time. On my last journey my moment lasted over a year. Some moments will last for decades well others only a few seconds. It depends on how close a moment brings you to the center. To the person experiencing this moment, it may last centuries to them but in reality it could be only seconds. It is hard to measure moments. Mine seemed to last a lifetime, but was actually only a year. Let me tell you, I was lost when I returned.
I believe we all should journey to the center of time. It will help you enjoy a moment for what it is and will teach you not to hold on to that moment but to be ready for the next. From this note, I will leave you.

Kim
Kim:
It has been too long. Everyday that passes without out seeing that breath-taking smile of yours, my heart grows weaker and weaker. Where have you been these past few weeks? I have checked almost everywhere but you no where to be found. The other day I traded my only picture of my mom so I could use this computer to write this letter to you. I miss you.
If water were beauty you would be an ocean. When can I see you? I propose that we go on a series of dates. Picnics, sunsets, and long walks holding those delicate hands of yours. I know this will be great because when our hands are together we will be complete. I love you Kim.
Wherever you go, whatever you do, I will be right here waiting for you. Whatever it takes, or how my heart breaks, I will be right here waiting for you.
With all my heart
Yours truely,
