Neither/Nor

February 10, 2015

I am neither done nor undone.
My desire was for the pain and longing to end.
To be done.
But that's not entirely accurate.
To be done is to close the book, put the pen down, and walk away.



I thought I was undone.

Unable to move forward: stuck, broken, defective.
But that's not true either.
To be undone is to cease progress
To remove the wheels from the bus and just collapse on the side of the road.



I am neither of these.
Not done nor undone.
My journey is incomplete and ongoing.
There is still much to learn, much to see, much to feel.
And so I roll on.
