Bridging Gaps…
This morning I had breakfast with the "most important man" and a "top 5 important man" in my life…
I felt like I was a bridge to be used for insight into parts of me. (Hence the bridge picture)
One from my Dad looking into more of my daily life, people who influence me, who I place a lot of trust in, people who help build my character each and everyday. People I spend time with when I am not with my family or at work.
The other from my friend, who has known me for almost a year, to see where I come from, how I was brought up, where my idiosyncrasies come from, why I speak the way I do, why I carry myself the way I do, who was behind my brining up, who is still behind my bringing up after 25 years, and who I hope to be behind my bringing up for decades and decades to come.
2 of us are used to breakfasts where we are just hanging out, sharing stories. One is used to breakfasts where there is an agenda, a plan, an itinerary to follow.
It was strange for me, not a bad strange, just a "strange" strange… To bring 2 worlds together for more than just a hello in passing after church isn't something I do everyday. Bringing 2 parts of my life that have been for the most part separated because of the generation differences. Not trying to force anything, not trying to say we all have to be friends, but just to gather in a greater understanding of the mystery of me and things going on in our world.
