Marginless is being 30 minutes late to the doctor’s office because you were 20 minutes late getting out of the hairdresser , because you were 10 minutes late dropping off the children at school, because the car ran out of gas two blocks from the gas station, and you forgot your purse. That’s Marginless
Margin, on the other hand , is having breath at the top of the staircase, money at the end of the month, and sanctity left over after adolescents.
Marginless is the baby crying and the phone ringing at the same time. Margin is grandma taking care of the baby for the afternoon.
Marginless is being asked to carry a load 5 pounds heavier than you can lift. Margin is having a friend carry half the burden.
Marginless is not having enough time to finish reading the book on stress (don’t stop, keep going). Margin is having the time to read it twice.
Marginless is fatigue. Margin is energy.
Marginless is red ink. Margin is black ink.
Marginless is hurry. Margin is calm.
Marginless is our culture. Margin is counter-culture, having some space and life in your schedule.
Marginless is reality. Margin is remedy.
Marginless is the disease (of our decade).
Margin is the cure
