"Life is not 'like a journey' so much as it is like several journeys, all different, all necessary, undertaken all at the same time." Richard Rodino
It's about midnight. I was putting the finishing touches on the blog post that this quote inspired. I put several hours of thought and work into it. I think it was one of my best offerings in a while. When I was cleaning up the last paragraph, I hit something on the keypad and it all disappeared. Every word of it. I had saved it as I went, but it disappeared as well. Not everything we create we get to keep.
I may write it, or something like it later, but not tonight. Meanwhile, read Rodino's words again and consider how they are true for you. Come to think of it, that's all I was trying to do to begin with.
From now on, it will be a good idea for me to lock the keypad.
Good night.
