Remembering When

It Was A Wonderful Present I Received For My Eighth Birthday.. I Turned The Pages As Quickly As I Could In The Flipbook With The Outline Of A Running Figure Each Page Showing Him In A Slightly Advanced Position. A Moving Picture Magically Emerged With Each Flick. In Less Than Half A Minute And One Hundred Actions Later I Had Watched The Running Of A Marathon.. And So It Is In The Years That Have Passed. The Eternity Of Waiting To Become A Schoolgirl The Eon Preceding Graduation The Century Of A Pregnancyall The Experiences And What I Learned From Them Flash By As Quickly As The Pages In That Book.
