“I do, however, feel strong enough to say I know who I am and what I want. To be involved in creative work. To be in community with people I love. To be living according to my values. To be an engaged mom. To always learn. To feel alive, motivated. To continue writing words that matter to people.” This is pure wisdom and the whole journey. Sending love to you four.
I'm reminded of the story (this might be a Sholem Aleichem, or just a folk tale I picked up somewhere) of the rabbi who is always brought various pieces of Good News and Bad News by the townspeople, and no matter what he's told, the rabbi always just says, "We'll see." And eventually it turns out that what initially appeared to be Good News is in fact Bad News, and vice versa, and when the townspeople tell the rabbi that he was right after all, he just says, "We'll see." Dyou know what I'm talking about?
I don't know this one! But it definitely sounds related to what I'm thinking about here, how everything is made up of both parts and has aspects of good and bad in it. Which is why searching for easy answers is always a futile effort. Also, I feel like I would enjoy drinking schnapps and talking about the meaning of life with that rabbi.
