The Back-burner...

"...All day long I'm sitting singing songs for everyone..."

We all have trajectories we set upon.  We start our engines, hit the gas and hope to make it to our destination in time.  Sometimes though, we are thrown off course by duty.  Sometimes though, we see a soul on the side of the road needing our help.  We stop and offer them a ride only to find that they not only need a ride...but food and shelter too.  Your trip is now on the back-burner.

How many times has this happened?  Too many to count.  Don't get me wrong, this is not a complaint but an acknowledgement of this truth and maybe, just maybe...there's more to it than just a delay in plans.  You see we all have our "office" in this life and if when called upon to officiate we shrink due to personal goals, then it means I am only to willing to expend all currency on myself.  I ask you...where is the "eternal" in that?

Some are there to drive her and lay her in a warm bed.  Others are there to make the right calls and make sure all forthcoming information is up to date.  While others are there to make sure all the loose ends are tied together once the dust settles.  Whatever your role in this life, never shrink away from your duty.  There is something I must do for someone I care about...I'm just waiting on my cue.  While I wait, my goals proceed on slow autopilot.  It's just how it is people...
