Hi Mom…it’s me!
My mom actually died several years ago but maybe there’s an intersection of cyberspace and infinity where she can pick up this blog and see that I’m doing all right and am not too many years behind her.
Years ago in a conference room somewhere I was getting an update on a software project that was plagued with difficulty. A phrase that kept coming up was “interim step” which sounded suspiciously like an excuse to me. Frustrated, I blurted out probably the most profound thing I’ve ever said, “Life is an interim step.”
Many times I’ve wondered about that. Indeed, it may be the central question of life. If you don’t believe life is an interim step to something else it has all sorts of implications on how you live that life.
I haven’t figured it out yet, so I’m keeping my options open.
