I'm so proud of you for being exactly who and how you are in the world, and I'm richer for knowing you and seeing the world through your eyes. <br /><br />Only through acknowledging that we don't know much, especially that we don't really know those things that we think we might know pretty well, can we keep the doorway open so that the actual world can penetrate our beings. Knowing only keeps the door firmly shut- and then it has to stay shut or get broken down. Better to keep it ajar!<br /><br />Yolie and I love you and miss you so much. We are longing for our path to wind its way back to your home so we can hang out and talk story and spend more time in your beautiful company.<br /><br />Big love to you and to your whole fam damily!tearful dishwasherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13436954924992728636noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2086296370004835655.post-57894629857507261542017-02-21T05:55:51.737-05:002017-02-21T05:55:51.737-05:00I've been feeling more generally anxious than ...I've been feeling more generally anxious than usual, too. It's just a bad time. I'll say to you what I said to Rosemarie the other day -- at least you're still noticing beauty, the nature around you, in addition to the trash and the other negative stuff. I think noticing beauty keeps us all sane.

I told a counsellor about it and I could tell in her eyes that she thought me completely unhinged. But in all honesty, I'm glad I notice these things. It means I'm paying attention. What that quote? If you aren't angry , you are not paying attention. Sometimes it would be easier to ignore things but, I don't want to be one of those people.
