Whatever you are doing right now -
it doesn't matter what it is -
consider it a work in progress.

Life is a work in progress.

Bringing a painting or a novel to completion may allow one too pause -
for a moment -
to bask in the glory of one's body of work,
before continuing to build once again
upon that which has already been accomplished.

The greatest achievers of any age -
upon their egress-
have often left behind that next great masterpiece -
unfinished.  
And thou we might look for some mysteriously hidden meaning
in their uncompleted task -
we find there is none.

The meaning is in the task itself.
M. Alibrando
