What Matters

We are currently reading The Magician's Elephant by Kate DiCamillo. There is a character named, Hans Ickman. This quote from Hans has struck me. "It is important that you say what you mean to say. Time is too short. You must speak words that matter."

I believe in this. Speak words that matter. Interpretation....interpretation...interpretation.

Life it too short to concentrate on one's misery. Life it to short to place fleeting expectations. What matters? What matters is.....

In my memory - i wrote about a river...a river that nearly drowned my intention...a river that almost drowned my narrow interpretation of life.

I am still standing. That is what matters. My journey continues......
