Reading this, I am struck by how vitally crucial it is to keep moving. My nephew who is an educator and one of our visitors asked me (as I am on the verge of turning 80) what I considered most important at this point in my life. I responded without much thought, forgiveness - of others, of myself. I added, taking risks - careful not to gel, staying in motion physically and emotionally. He liked what I said.
I whole-heartedly agree! On both points, particularly in forgiving oneself and staying in motion. It's been so long in one place and I find myself needing to get out into the world and see it again.
The sense of disconnection runs deep in this one...
ReplyDeleteYes, I'm struggling to find those things that move me. Thank you.
