In the Service Of Life

Many years ago I was on a last minute flight to Salt Lake City. Because it was last minute and I was a frequent flyer I got a first class seat for the price of coach. I sat next to a man who worked for Scottish Power. He was traveling on business. We chatted about business processes and so related matters. He asked my what was I going to Salt Lake for. In a choked up voice I told him that my mom was a terminal cancer patient and that my boss told me to just work from there when I could and don’t worry about vacation time. He reached into his bag and pulled out a couple of sheets of paper. He said I survived stage 4 brain cancer and this might be useful. I read what he gave me. it has been many years since I read that and each time I reread it I discover some subtle thing I missed.

The article is titled In The Service of Life. Enjoy. Yes, I try to be of service to others; I am not skilled enough to fix and I try to not feel others have incurred debt to me or eel inferior to me because I was of service. If you read the article I think you will understand.
