The Past Arrives....

There are,
 most decidedly,
times in life when one's PAST can simply show up at the front door...
UNANNOUNCED....
with BAGS !!
TRUNKS even !!
signaling to us that they may wish to STAY for awhile....
They MAY even wish to MOVE IN...
or to simply SQUAT in our living room....
In any case,
 one can never be too CAREFUL when opening the door to the PAST....
For, notwithstanding the added, sanctimonious brouhaha of the moment,
messages can indeed be embedded in the fine, silken thread of our Past's overcoat...
