Are we there yet? No. Will we ever get there? I believe so.
Surprisingly, the parental exchange with children sitting restlessly in
the back seat of a car awaiting a better more exciting moment has
become a doorway to understanding the impatience I feel everyday as I
and others around me ask if we or will we ever arrive at a better more
exciting moment. Can I speak of success having not found IT yet? I do
not mean to squirm out of the question -for I know to many it would be
as ironic as a divorcée giving marraige advice- but, it all depends on
how we define It, Success.

Our priest likes to cite Mother Theresa’s reply to the
question: Does it bother you that you have not been succesful? Mother Theresa purportedly replied: "God did
not ask us to be succesful, but to be faithful." The statement eases my frustration at not having more to show for my hard work but Ceasar is at my door asking me to pay taxes and rent.  These days dreaming and working to make visions a reality carries a big ticket that quickly turns to debt.
