Years ago, as long time readers will know, I was let go from a job just days before my 6 months were up and I would be a permanent employee. A lady who was hired to support me (I had the higher position) stayed in contact with told me how distressed my boss was. Years later, when I was perhaps more mature, I understood that my boss actually cared about me. She was in an impossible situation. She actually flew to Ottawa to be with me when I was terminated and was trying not to cry.
Now I understand because it's me now, crying because I liked the woman we employed but it was in the end an impossible situation and we have parted ways, paid her wages and are done.
The song 2:14 Prime (Version) and others in this set I was given last summer and I found it again yesterday (remember my phone died in November and I lost all my WhatsApp chats and YouTube downloads) and to me it expresses the great love and tragedy of life. I listened to it a lot this past summer in Ottawa when God did a lot but I was still so pitiablely sick.
Music is amazing for what it can express and give words to the unspeakable grief tragedy beauty and love that is all mixed together.
Sometimes you only have a person in your life briefly for reasons you don't know.
I was getting more sick not less because of the situation that is now over. But I saw great beauty in n her even though we only had a week together.
May God have mercy on us all.
