Bridging the Gap

 

I've been around the block

And I've done some things

That I ain't so very proud of...

In "Dead Man Walkin'" Bruce Springsteen observed that, "Between our dreams and actions lies this world".   Indeed it does.  

There may be no greater truism than we are not what we say but, rather, we are what we do.  What we are, each of us, is an imperfect, flawed to a degree human being.  Irrespective of however perfect the face is that we show to the rest of the world, each of us knows the truth about ourself.  Each of us knows that our real life - the one we make our way through every day - is measured in the gap between the things of which we dream and those things that we do.    

Survival in this world is directly related to our ability to make the gap between the two manageable.  The secret for doing so is unique to each of us.  

I got mine.

Got yours?
