Half-Finished Thoughts

I need to get out of catch-up mode. Sometimes a half-finished thought is just a half-finished thought. A half-finished song is a half-finished song. A half-finished poem will remain as such. A barely begun journal entry is just that. Perhaps the time will come when it is time to finish them...perhaps not.

Yes...it is good to get ourselves to finish things, but not forcibly so. If it doesn't come, so be it. So many of these blog entries I have written late at night when my mind was so full of ideas and I had no clear direction with any of them...so I tried to follow them all. That is part of my problem in life: too many ideas!!

Life by its nature is temporal, time bound. Like it or not, we are bound to the clock. We must learn to live within its limits. It will probably take me my entire life to learn to live within the limitations presented by mortality, but I am bound and determined to master this life!

We cannot do every wonderful thing our heart desires, we just can't!! I might have to learn this lesson several more times...but each time I think I learn it just a little bit better! :)
