Unfinished Business

Author: siggy

We always have unfinished business.  Everyone.  We pick up the threads of other peoples’ unfinished business and when the Lord takes me, someone else whose life I have impacted will pick up where I left off.  Sometimes we complete a task only we were meant to take on in life.  No one is indispensable no matter what you do or the reputation you have earned (or notoriety in some peoples’ cases).  That is only an illusion.  Life goes on and so does decay and renewal.

Dribs and Drabs

Author: siggy
We learn about others in dribs and drabs.  Sometimes the interactions are seconds here and there.  Maybe minutes if we are lucky.  Maybe, it is better and more meaningful that way, especially if time elapses between contact.  We have more time to take in everything.  As I mentioned in one of the quotes, ‘The value of a man (or in this case it could be a woman) is not in his skin that we should touch him.’  (Thoreau in “Walden”)
