Roofing
An odd title for an entry this month, but talking
to the roofers at work upon some of my family's
property, I actually came up with a useful little
analogy.
Sometimes, evidently, some construction
companies will cut corners or do sloppy work if
they think their work will go unseen and
unnoticed.
carpenters know how to cover their mistakes."
Decades can pass with the sloppy or improper
work going unseen and unnoticed, but then (as
in the case with the roofers) out come the
pitchforks and away come the shingles and the
sloppy, substandard work becomes revealed.
Secrets revealed after decades of inaction -- I
guess I wax hopeful with such an analogy.
Many, many people hold some part of the secret
surrounding Tammy's murder, yet show no signs
of remorse or regret, no signs they will ever
come forward with their piece to the puzzle.
To them Tammy's murder is ancient history, not
worth the thought or memory.
They think their actions (or lack of action in
doing the right thing) will go forever unnoticed,
hidden beneath the facade -- they slop up paint,
they lay another layer of shingles, they go on as
if nothing ever happened -- but the crime of
murder can't be taken back, can't be fixed.
Like the rotting framework beneath those
shingles, the crime still remains, no matter what
efforts are made as create a veneer of lies.
Years and sometimes decades pass, and maybe
even the rot beneath gets forgotten, but
sometimes, just sometimes, a moment passes
when the weight becomes too much and the
house of lies collapses.
Better this moment should come to pass in this
life rather than the next.
