Some days the NY Times Art section does not resonate with me. Today was such a day. I was caught by the concept of 'someday' in a human interest story. "Who knows why never becomes someday and someday becomes today." In a story about a mother who discovers her daughter's vision for her life found in a file in her laptop that she had ignored since her daughter's death in the 9/11 Twin Towers catastrophe, the young woman's thirty-six points bespoke of modest goals and affirmed what her father and mother already knew about her. "She recognized that you appreciate a few things and kind of live your life wisely," her father said. The mother interprets the discovery of the list as as another way in which her daughter communicates with her when she is most in need. Of course, it could have been on a sheet of paper or in notebook. It gives one pause about the efficacy of keeping everything locked up in an electronic box.. Yes, "Who knows why never become someday and someday becomes today."
