I’m exploring this idea of the future inside of me. It gives me pause, fear, and the joy of discovery simultaneously.
I’ve been strolling through many amazing memories of the last 28 years with my wife. It makes me glad to have the fertile soil of my past providing wisdom for the future.
Maybe I’m romantic. Maybe I’m naive. Either way, I’m longing for the journey to slow down and give me one day each day to love and live.
Who I am now is better equipped for the ride. It’s gonna be a blast!
This personification of relationship as a 3rd being, arising between two people and in need of care, is beautiful. "Actions and the way we show up in a shared life: they were, for me, the skeletal-muscular system of a relationship. Values, purpose, and direction were the brain. Maybe love could be blood. I’d have to think about this more, but emotions are likely the nervous system. And culture was tendons, fascia– they held and connected things, keeping movement and function working smoothly."
And funny you mention a photo. My mom and dad were cleaning out old files and found a photo I had sent them from a trip in Australia I took 32 years ago, biking across New Zealand and the land down under while performing street shows to earn our way. It reminds me of what I feel is part of my own essence, the willingness to go on an adventure, explore, and attempt to reach others with humor and theater and big ideas. (I'd share it but there is no way to post it here.)
Thanks for your reflections, and the invitation to join in.
