New Roof

The wind blew the roof off the school across the street. The parish had a temporary roof put on right away. We all think of the temporary roof as something that will be replaced with a permanent roof shortly. How long is temporary? The consensus seems to be "a few months." No one thinks that temporary is forever when it comes to the roof.

Well, I am temporary too! But I don' spend much time thinking about my shelf life or when I will be replaced or taken away. I seem to function with the idea of permanence. The roof has no permanence. Maybe the roof blowing off is trying to tell me something? You think?
