Yes there has been a gap – I have written stuff in my head which has never quite got to the digital state.
But today – as I left work something kind of magical happened. It was pretty late so I took an alternative route that meant I ran into one of our cloud architects who was on parental leave last week. As we had chatted a fair bit over the last month over his wife’s increasing frustration with late stage pregnancy I stopped to ask him how it went. They had ended up having an unplanned home birth (the midwife got to them just in time). He was bubbling over with this amazing experience of being in their own space and not having to manage a whole lot of other distracting stuff so he could be there in the moment (not quite his words but the theme was there) . It was contagious joy – flowing on from unexpectedly running into another friend who is beginning to “show” in her fifth month.
Coupled with another conversation if had earlier in the day about options for a very disengaged 16 year old who is likely to be expelled from school, it made me think of how much I have to offer of value is not what I do during the day but the shared knowledge and networks of experience. And the brightness of my day has not been particularly work related but the serendipity of sharing in the relationship events of other people’s lives.
