This is a line from a work by Donald Rawley and I have no idea what it means. But it brings to mind board meetings. It brings to mind all of the board meetings through which I have sat thinking, "It's noon and we have accomplished nothing, let's eat!" or worse, "It's 6:00 and nothing is near finished, let's eat!"
I have been on several boards. One in particular, a board for an organization made up of professional humane educators, had me as a member of their board for six years. It was a wonderful time and I spent it with wonderful people. We travelled around the country, visiting shelters and getting to know the other people in the humane movement. I hung out with people from the big four: The Humane Society of the U.S., Best Friends, American Humane Association and the ASPCA. Yes, Peta was not a part of this and that is a long story for another day.
I learned so much from this experience and I hope to be able to serve on many more boards before I am through.
Because it's noon,
and nothing is concluded.
Let's eat.
