Day 25: Nothing is Complete

"You have your way. I have my way. As for the right way, the correct way, and the only way, it does not exist." Nietszsche

I found this quote in one of my readings this morning.  

The picture I chose today is of the 3000 pc World Puzzle Map that my Mom and I worked on for a good two years.  Mom finished it and there were five missing pieces.  I'd like to think that is a better picture of our planet than a complete puzzle.  There are holes in most everything we deal with as a human species.  Holes are a part of the story.  

We are all looking at life through our own lens.  That in itself gives us holes.  Nothing is complete.  The only way doesn't exist. Nietzsche was... well maybe not correct... the correct way doesn't exist either.  Nietzsche had a good point.  It makes sense.  And making sense... that is the best I can hope for!  

Day 24: It's still Friday the 13th in Hawaii

It's 3:48 am... the day after the day I was supposed to write this post.  Oh well... I'm getting old and forgetting is part of the journey.  It's nice to finally incorporate that into Authentic Lent.  But it is still Friday the 13th in Hawaii.  

I will share the picture I got on Friday the 13th.  This is a garden handcrafted by Alma who is a beautiful four-year old that I have never met.  Her mother and I are friends, but for her, I am just the person who has been donating members of her stuffed animal collection to her.  She has never met me.  I hope one day for that to change.  I would love to meet her.  I guess that would require a change in the relationship of her mother and I.  Up until now, we have only connected in places of work.  

I am back in that place wondering what I could do to connect more with special people in my life.  Am I responsible for the lack that occurs?  Could I do something more to make certain relationships more connected?  I wish I knew the answer to that question.  

Time to go back to bed!
