Please pardon this interruption in my regularly scheduled blogging. However, I had to share something I’ve been thinking about recently. I had to gather the seed of a thought from my mind, and plant it right here. Then I am going to let it germinate, and harvest its fruit at some point in the future.
“Greatness is never appreciated in youth,
called pride in middle age,
dismissed in old age,
and reconsidered in death.
Because we cannot tolerate greatness in our midst
we do all we can to destroy it.”
~ Lady Morella, Babylon 5, from the episode “Point of No Return”
My birthday was on Monday; I turned forty-two.
I felt really good—one of the best I’ve ever had.
It was over by Tuesday.
And, a week later, I am pulling at the edges of its memory,
Searching for a signpost, some sort of clue,
Of where I should turn to next.
