Rational Madness

Sunday, May 28, 2006

There's something about saying goodbye that leaves one feeling disoriented and a little incomplete. Maybe it's because of the residue of the relationships you have built that you are now putting a stop to. Maybe it's because no matter how you say goodbye, you know closure only comes after a wound has left a gash on your knee. And for a while that wound will keep hurting and bleeding. It's inevitable.

My last day at Medtronic was a happy one. I had come in thinking I might cry but they all made me happy. They surprised me with an impromptu pizza party and an impromptu letter. It was a nice and kind gesture. I totally appreciate it. I felt very blessed and very special. As much as it saddened me to leave, it was a happy departure. And everybody expressed that they would all want me back. Even my supervisor told me to call him when I get back into the country.

I wish I didn't have to say goodbye to many people in my life. I wish I wasn't flighty. But that's all I am right now. I'm a fleeting memory. I'm a bridge-builder. I just keep building all these bridges and then going on to the next one before I could even fully see the capacity of my creation. I'm just glad I've got sense enough not to burn my bridges. I'd love to come back and see if I could pick up where I left off.

God bless everybody I worked with at Medtronic. Goodness knows they're some of the most brilliant, hard-working people I will ever meet in my life.
