I have a friend, more than one really, but Carolyn was someone special. Once upon a time we lived close enough to spend a lot of really good times together, but time and circumstance placed us many miles apart. We only got to visit together occasionally and chat on the phone. We lost touch but those good times were never far from our thoughts.
Today I was thinking about my friend Carolyn and remembered one of Carolyn's unique characteristics. Carolyn kept time by her own 'clock' which ran slightly behind our schedules, but she was always there eventually.
Today Carolyn's special time-piece, usually a bit behind our own clocks, suddenly decided to catch up and skip ahead of us. You see, we won't be waiting for Carolyn to finally get here because on today she finally got There. Today her time-piece was adjusted by the Master Time Keeper and she won't ever be late again. Today, she is looking back over her shoulder and we are the ones who will always be slightly behind her schedule.
Carolyn, we'll be there ...eventually, so please save us a place at the Table.
Life is just a dash (-) between our beginning and our ending. The dash represents a simple allotment of time that represents all that comes between our beginning and our ending. Time to be used wisely. Carolyn seemed to know that life was meant to be lived not in a rush, rush, rush but enjoyed in a steady pace toward the goals she had set.
What will you do with your own 'dash'? Someday and maybe sooner than we think our own time-peices will be adjusted by the Master Time Keeper and we will arrive at our final destination. Will we have used our time with wisdom and prepared for our departure?
