May 22

Entry for May 22, 2007 the running around and having to catch up on sleep....on life....on piles of 'important papers' on the desk....and today once i got to the office a friend of mine comes to my office with an announcement of her leave....quickly she proceeds to tell me that her mother was also diagnosed with cancer and she is going to North Carolina to spend time with her....and assist for the next month or so....she held back her tears like a 'big' girl when in fact it was not necessary...we talked for a while....she started to smile....she knows that she is making a good choice of leaving in this very moment of her life and attend to things that matter....family....life....chance.....opportunity for another encounter with good.....with promising.......with faith..........what is faith anyway....how heavily we rely on faith.....amazing strength in abstract idea and permission for its existence.....and tomorrow is another day....another permission from life to go on.....to stand and fight our own insecurities....our own weak spirit.....but only at times, for most of the time we stand tall.....strong......assured.....secure.....ready for a new challenge....ready for the sun to rise and warm our bodies.....bring yet another promise of life.....wanting....the creek of rejuvenation......and yet we battle life every day alone....yet together....just to be called human.......to co-exist in what we think we need....and live......how we think we ought to.....do we have enough strength to question convention.....and status quo.....I hope so for decades....centuries.....endless nights to come......strength in one........one makes many...........many support one and one may one day change the world...........i would like to live to see that day...........
