Fragile
I am learning much about myself on this silly journey in recent days… The journey I was told I was entering but did not want to believe was mine to take. But in these days little sound bites of wisdom stream into my heart… soul… brain, bringing clarification to questions that have long puzzled me within. These things have profound effects on my actions. But they are becoming a part of who I was… and no longer who I am. It seems as though I am unlocking the doors to places I closed down somewhere along the way. It is good. It is revolutionary in my life.
Wrenched
Sometimes life throws a wrench right in to your side. A blunt trauma that knocks the breath out of you and leaves you grasping for something to lean against just to keep you steady as you take it all in. Something so unexpected that it causes you to gasp and hold a hand over mouth. One of those moments when you know that if you were acting it would look so perfect… so real… so pure. A moment that you think “Is this really happening to me? I am really IN this moment?”
That happened to me today. My husband had sent the kids outside to play and then said I should take a look at a letter from my kids’ preschool. It arrived in the same 5×7 manilla envelope all of the school materials arrive in. There in among the papers was a letter to all the parents.
