Bide One's Time

Spooky
By Lee Prosser

Moving to a new location involves leaving behind old ghostly scenes and ghosts. We pick those items up oftentimes without realizing it.

Do the ghosts miss us? We ask, and wonder.

There are different answers to the question, but generally not a quick catch-all answer that satisfies. Part of the situation is that we have no one and only answer.

The ghosts go on about their doings, walking their pathways, seeking their routes, and if we are gone from the scene, they may notice the absence of our energy. But as to missing our unique presence, they go on about their business and quickly forget us.

That is one approach, one answer. There are several more.

Use your imagination. What would you say to a ghost if you left its usual haunts, or would you? Do you have to say anything? No. 

Depart and make the move. Let Spooky go on with his or her business. Everything does work out the way it is supposed to work out, regardless.
