I have been frustrated lately because I pretend my time is like the deer hide Ty brings home from his hunting trips to Eli or wherever..
I pretend that I can stretch it with my hands. With all my new found hide and time I pretend to fill every need and demand. But in reality my time is rock solid. My feet and my hands and my brain fly back and fourth from all of my tasks and my loves. I make promises with and to my time that I cannot keep. My feet and my hands and my brain hurt when I finally caught up to myself this afternoon at the Bryan Coyle center sharing a meal with a fourth grade boy from East Africa. It's easy for me to be angry that I am demanded so much of the time. Sometimes I remember who these people are with their arms outstretched "greedily" toward my time. Sometimes I forget because these extraordinary opportunities have become routine.
This is probably the coolest time of my life.
And I'm deeply soberly and solidly in love.
