Admin. Note: Penned from prison, this writing has been broken up into two parts. Part 2 will be posted Monday.Taking it all for granted. Devaluing value leads to losing invaluables. I was once king of depreciation and I recognize this now only in hindsight. After it’s already gone.  All of it.  Lost.  And you realize it only when it’s too late, where it is impossible to be replaced.  Reputation, sunk like a ship. Losing priceless people in your life by neglecting your side of the relationship.The captain of capsizing. And here I sit stranded on an island, constructed by the sand of self: A place of loneliness where the sands of time bury you under the weight of waiting. You look back and see all that you had and the "objects in the mirror are closer than they appear."  Meaning what you had was so much more than even your ability or perception to comprehend it now.  That rear view mirror shatters you. You’ve lost because you were so lost.  Where do I start digging to find?  How do I get it back when there’s no “X” that marks the spot?Here I sit. Visualizing where my treasure needs to be and if my heart had feet, it would certainly follow. But my heart is chained to regret.  Regretting is regressing. Backwards you think, backwards you go. Buried. Solid ground is right above you, if you can only push through the loose sand that holds you. Quickly, if you can.  But panicking turns it to quick sand.Take a deep breath….in your soul! PART 2 CONTINUED MONDAY.
