Life in Perspective
I have been considering how much differently I have come to see things as I get older. And how things become clearer as I let go of the clutter of bullshit. It’s not about not caring, it is about not being swept away by it.
An early December stray self. Wandering Through the Forest of Ragged Truth. That’s what came to mind. Seems appropriate now, but probably always. Older and , well, what is wiser? Like truth, probably quite personal. Let go. Live. Love. Learn.
I see myself, at times, as a wise grandmother who can speak truths. Yet our young ones can dig deep and come out with words that echo what truly matters. This Thanksgiving, our twin 15 yr old grandchildren were with us. Our grandson is a loquacious guy, quick with quips and so funny. He asked to give the toast at the table and we all braced ourselves: He looked at all of us, raised his glass and said, quietly, "to family for they are everything". His twin sister added, "it's not what you have that you should be thankful for, it is who you have in your life that makes you thankful." Let me tell you, there was hot a dry eye in the house...it is about caring, and love, plain and simple.
