Time and Time Again Paul Gillel

I have had many lives It may be I have lived a hundred times. Perhaps it is a thousand lifetimes. I know not the exact number and it matters little. It matters only that I grew and learned in those passages of time. I have lived through times of feasts and through many times of famine. I know that the feast times are easier but I am also only too aware that the famines will return, always. I have lived with both war and with peace. I know that the times of peace are easier to endure. I also know that the times of war resolve nothing and no nations will ever learn that war solves no argument or slight, real or imagined. Yet always the peace will come to an end as we develop new weapons and look around for an enemy we can test our new toys on. I have loved and worshipped many gods. I have learned that all and any of the gods will only watch our struggles. They will not interfere with our fight to survive yet another day. I have lived and I have loved many times and with many people. I have laughed out loud and I have shed many a silent tear. I write this book with both a happy heart and heavy heart. The happy memories it brings back are a blessing. The heavy memories it reminds me of are hard to relive. All of my yesterday's help me to live my today.
