A Huddle of Turtles

[needgrace]

wow, zig, you have such a knack for putting into words (and eloquent ones) the things i am feeling

i thought that i might be alone in this feeling as most of the posters here have children...

but i am wrong and i think we are experiencing the existential aloneness that is our own individual path regardless of who is in our lives...that we fight not to feel by grasping, addicting, avoiding, keeping so busy that it can not catch us....

we have stopped to feel, to grow, to stay still and it has caught up with us

and, zig, i believe that you have found the way to deal with it, without scurrying to divert our view...to CHANGE the way we think about and picture it.. to realize that we have raced ahead bc we CHOOSE to see our path as adventurous and promising instead of scary, to see the foliage as beautiful and inviting instead of foreboding and overwhelming... to SEE the picnic in front of us and imagine the people, the love, the food, the laughs ahead of us instead of thinking we will be scavenging for love, for nourishment, for support...

thank you zig for leading the way.. ((((( )))))
