| Consolation from my Captain.....On Loss

Imagine yourself opening your eyes while standing in the middle of a big field. There a lot of people around and you know them all. As you look around you notice that the closest people you see are mostly family and true friends. A lil further away you see some people that you love, but maybe not as dearly. A little further away, but still surrounding you you see aquaintances. Farther away still are people you hardly know and finally near the outer edge are people you don't have a very good relationship with at all.
All of these people are circling you like planets around a sun, just rotating. The closer people are laughing and smiling with you most of the time. As this whole scene slowly spins around you, your gravity is pulling most closer to you and the inner orbits are filling fast with jovial, mature, intelligent, self-assured people with lots of love.
Unfortunately the outer rings, which is made up of sad, immature and insecure people, are throwing stones towards the center. Occasionally they hit you or even someone close to you. Whenever that happens it's too bad and it hurts, BUT...if you watch closely you can see the circle tightening as it spins around you. The more rocks they throw, the closer your inner rings of people get. They surround you for protection. Nearly all the people move in closer to you when the rocks start flying. Soon your enveloped by closeness and love and laughing and friendship. Your in a good place that feels all warm and fuzzy and safe.
People in the middle distance rings are looking on, watching this happen. Some of them move a lil closer, but some pick up rocks and move to the outer ring to join in. Every once in a while, someone close to you spins away and joins the outer ranks, leaving a blank spot there that's open and vunerable. That hurts everytime, some more than others. But the void is soon filled by others anxious to be close to you and be supportive and protective.
There's a period of time that occurs after someone close spins away, but before that vunerable spot is filled. Time seems to stand still. You feel open and exposed. Depending on the person, it could hurt for a minute or hurt for a week.
The end result is always the same though. The close people draw closer. The ones that you thought were close but left for the outer rings? Ha! They never belonged close to you in the first place!
