One of my favorite movies is the Illusionist - and one of my favorite magic tricks in the movie is the orange tree demonstrating the passage of time. Every time I see a clock I think of that scene. Today's post is a combination of both of these things.

Oranges take up to 8 months for an orange to ripen. Most of my friendships have been the same way. It takes weeks to make a grandfather clock by hand. And that's only after the skills have been learned - perfected even. It takes me seconds to think of you each and every day. But I don't text, call, or write because you don't reach out anymore.

Maybe next time I pull an orange out of the branches for myself I'll see if you still want to talk.
