Never underestimate the impact of a small segment of your life.  It may be one year, it may be 5 years, it may be more; but never underestimate the impact on your soul. We all go thru life sharing little segments of our lives.  In the end those segments connect us all. They connect us all in a web of spirituality that can never be broken...but because we are all connected,  everything we do affects everyone else.  Each vignette prepares us for the the shape of things to come. Some may be more meaningful than others, some may imprint upon our soul more than others; but they all shape who we are, what we are, where we have been,and where we are going. This becomes so much clearer as we near the dusk of life. We see which segments bring us to tears and which ones we may regret and wish we could do over. That is what it is all about. Life is a walk through door after door and we keep the things that are meaningful, and leave behind those that are not. Hopefully, in the end, we retain the love we gave and the love we received. Share it, never ration it, embrace it, and know that what we give out, we always get back.
