Catch up
Turning points leave us forever changed.
Newborns stay where you put them until they learn how to turn over and crawl. Once they learn, there will be no return to stationary convenience. Parents have to adjust; expect the child to be somewhere other than you last saw. Parents play catch up.
Dreamers play catch up after seeing what makes words fail. For a dream to come true, dreamers have to catch up by writing; by enunciation. Preaching is the agony of telling the ecstasy of knowing. Visionaries must descend into the weeds of keystrokes and grammar if understanding matters. An outline, writing time and redaction precede significance. A dream is a vapor; catch up means we write what was dreamed.
Catching up means that before I start my assignments, we have to address the unexpected. Flat tires, overnight snow, traffic and disrupted internet all require catch up. We cannot stay in the places surprises cast us. We have to get up and clean up from setbacks before setting our jaws to catch up. Thieves come when least expected but recovery from theft includes catching up.
Thieves took a coat of many colors and Joseph's life changed. Before the thieves, he was verbose, dream-driven. Losing the coat left his father to catch up; Joseph was not where his father expected him to be. Each morning for seventeen years his father had to negotiate the grief before he could get anything done. His father had to catch up after the heartbreak of his son's sale into slavery.
Readers have heartbreak; things that make us want to quit. We've managed to get up, clean up and show up. We have to excel but adiaphoron have to first be negotiated: laundry, a toothache, PTSD and empty gas tanks are not the main things. We do have to catch up before we can pursue opportunities.
A sick child, a lost set of keys and a flat tire are all opportunities to catch up. There are going to be some things that sabotage momentum and keep us from accomplishing a goal. We can regret or avoid them but procrastination will not get us where we need to go. We need to rather lean in and handle them as best we can because if we don't we are going to be behind. When they show up they put us behind.
It's our job to catch up and learning how to catch up leaves us forever changed.
