What then is time? If no one asks me, I know what it is. If I wish to explain it to him who asks, I do not know. — Saint Augustine

It's been a year since my mother's passing and looking around to see if things have changed, I discovered a certain immutability of time. I feel her, yet she isn't here. Time has moved on. The gardens lie fallow — fallen apples turning from red to brown, rejoining the earth from where they came. Her presence is still here — her shoes still sit where she slipped them off, a covering of dust on the knitting basket, the colorful yarns awaiting her gentle touch.
