This will do it
In this quiet hour before the New Year, we reflect upon the meaning of our lives. As one bumper sticker said, The meaning of life is to live it. And yet I harbor within a vision of my highest self, a dream of what I could and should become. May I pursue this vision, labor to make real my dream, be who I am.
Step back away from what you have accomplished and see who you have become, step back further away and pause to reflect on the work of art that is your life.
My greatest achievement was in becoming myself. My greatest desire is to help others achieve the same.
Who knew barely after two years, I’d be driving back to the Midwest for another baby. No we are not adopting another child, but our dear friend is, and Big Blue, the same truck that took me to Tin, is taking us to Leo.
And a baby is born this season, bringing again the hope for the future. 4 cm dilated, contractions erratic, we’ll be leaving soon.
