“Dear RBKD, I’m not going to wish you dreams or eternity, I’m going to bring you there, lead you there.”

I just wrote a birthday note to RBKD that doesn’t seem a bit at all like a birthday note. I was tempted to write the above line but alas, I didn’t, because I’m not willing to, and I don’t dare to commit to such a promise.

I know what I could do and this is why I could type the line in such confidence. But the confidence in my ability to fulfill the promise is different from the confidence in myself to fulfill the promise.

The difference is in commitment and willingness, that I can’t and will never be ready to promise.
