Do you remember the wooden carpenter ruler that was jointed at each foot making it possible to unfold the ruler to a larger size?  I've been thinking about this measurement tool using it as a metaphor for length of life.  I am at the end ... perhaps, if I am lucky, there might be one more section to open.  This thought has me evaluating ... who was the girl in the first segment of life; what were her dreams?  There is still time ... I  have this moment for sure and I have chosen to write to you.
