The importance of history

[demiurgent]

I am reminded of how important the tapestry of one's life is, and how many elements and fibers are a part of that tapestry.

I was reminded of that today by Frank, through threats of loving violence.

I was reminded of that by Karen, who never ceases to surprise.

I was reminded of that by Chris, who reminds me that friendship is precious.

I was reminded of that by pir, who makes sense through chaos.

I was reminded of that by my father, who loves without condition.

I was reminded of that by my mother, who finds the heart of the issue through the dross.

I was reminded of that by my life, which refuses to be maligned or confused with my job, no matter how much I might try.

Thanks, all.

Life is an interesting thing. One must at times step back an examine where things are and put it into perspective. Eric, I think that you did well in doing this but might have been a bit to harsh on yourself. You have done at least one thing to me, you got me to love roll playing and through it expanded my mind and lead me to some very good friends later down the road. In GodSpell, I learned from you the importance of not being afraid and to try and take that chance.
Secondly, after one does a good self examination, it is best to look for solutions to those issues that are of concern. There is no time like the present to correct the mistakes of the past. Seize the day.
