SUSAN IRENE FOX
(clink the link to see others’ reflections and memories of a very special human being)

———————————————————————-

“I never met Susan Irene Fox in the flesh.  I had not known Susan’s name for very long.  Never knew she even existed other than for two-three years.  Not long enough to know Susan – not as we say we should/must do.”
Susan’s memorial across WordPress

Even as I wrote those words … as the letters of the keyboard clattered … the time-span was clattering much louder around my head.

Two-Three Years … Two-Three Years … Two-Three Years … Two-Three Years … Two-Three Years … Two-Three Years … 

And another who I only know from two-three years.  Someone whose early life is fragments of shards of a glass I never ever knew whole.  But never had to.  Someone whose two -three years is still just (more) shards of a glass I never will see whole either.  But never need to either.  I can read the bible and see only fragments and shards of the whole and never see the whole.

And yet …

I know the whole.

Just as with Susan – the stuff that matters – the stuff that is light – the stuff that draws me towards – the stuff that draws me after … that “stuff” of life …

Will only ever be shards of the whole.   Yet is more than I need.  More than I can hold.  More than I am or ever will be.

“I never met Susan Irene Fox in the flesh.  I had not known Susan’s name for very long.  Never knew she even existed other than for two-three years.  Not long enough to know Susan – not as we say we should/must do.”

Yet is it more than I need.

More than I can hold.

More than I am or ever will be.

Two-Three Years

Is all we ever need.

More than we can ever hold.

More than I am.

Or ever will be.

Don’t ask what can I do – what can I be – I am just one – I am just me –  
Two-Three Years is all you ever need.
Is more than you need.
Is more than you can hold.
Is more than you are
Or ever will be.

Thank you, dear friends both, for showing me that.
