We Ain’t Just Passing Through on a Free Ticket

We are what is in between. A link, an intermediary. Between then, now, and to be. Our life, our time, is borrowed, on loan, a gift from the past. We are not here just for ourselves. But for what was, and what will be. Obligations to ours just before, and all before. Obligations for ours who are next, and for all beyond. Not a burden, a responsibility. An exchange for the privilege of life, for all the moments, the time, for the opportunity. It is a promise. It is ‘the’ promise that we must fulfill to our long line of ‘what was’, and the future of our ‘what might be’.
