To Create

It's said to be the first verb in the bible.  Opened bins in storage not touched for ten years.  Contents not used nearly ten more.  Five figures of investment, sitting for nearly twenty years, not appreciating, nearly lost on several occasions. 

Survivor's guilt in knowing the hurricane took everything for some not long ago, yet grateful for what we still have.  Some was forgotten or unknown if it survived, as much was lost in other upheavals that compound the impact.  There is still mourning for what can't be replaced, and will be for some time to come.  An evolution began in the process of passing on what others would appreciate more, and what could be moved forward with.

It was therapeutic before.  No different now.  Only a different time, a different series of events in a similar chain.  There are more ideas, though mostly the expression of moving on to something better. 

Compelled to continue.  With many demands on time.  There is no down time.  Only 'what's next', hour by hour. 

There remains life with God's creatures that require attention and care: another form of therapy.  Both the creative and maintenance tasks involving life sustain themselves, which one could not do unless passionately invested in a purpose.

Objectives are not out of sight, though the way is not shown as yet as to how one thing will lead to another.  Having objectives pays the way for the means, though how the means will be utilized has not yet been revealed.

The tasks help in keeping concern at a distance, yet the urgency to complete what must be done does not stop looming.  One day's accomplishments lead to the next hour's task, no moment is ever really guaranteed to be granted, though rewards can come more easily with preparation.

There is joy in solitude, and also pain in uncovering memories of times that will not return.  The opportunity to reflect is a luxury not available to many.  It often feels more like time taken than given, the difference being a choice of action.  Being given the time was not a decision, what was done with it was, and is.
