‘There now!’ said the Inspector. ‘You’ll have to go; but it’s a bad way to start on your journey, leaving your jobs undone. Still, we can at least make some use of this canvas now.’
‘Oh dear!’ said poor Niggle, beginning to weep.
~ J.R.R. Tolkien
When you go, how will the jobs be taken care of that you did not finish? For Niggle, his beloved tree ends up in bits and pieces as shingles for his neighbor’s leaky roof.
Although for Tolkien unfinished jobs were also quite a literal problem, learning from Niggle’s experience is useful for spiritual jobs, if you will, as well. Focus helps. There are things to tackle. It’s a bad way to start on your journey, leaving your jobs undone.
