By association, that made me think about connections with those who are not yet alive.
Recent events in my life and the just-passed U.S. Memorial Day holiday have me pondering the nature of my connections with those who are no longer alive.

I've always prided myself on being a detail person. I can make a small picture look pretty good for a limited time without much difficulty. The problems with that are obvious. Those three words: "pride," "small," and "limited" expose them clearly. Without a sense of the Big Picture, or at least the Grand Strategy, the accomplishments of tactical competence and logistical expertise are ephemeral, at best. Sometimes even counter-productive. "What do you believe?" When talking about the spiritual aspects of life and recovery, that question gets tossed around a lot. I don't answer it much, anymore. If I'm being polite I just say something about "Twelve Step Spirituality" and hope to hear more about what the questioner believes. It's not that I don't want to share. But they didn't finish the question. "What do you believe?" is about as meaningful as "How high is up?" |
