I appreciate your poem. I don’t know how to radically accept what’s coming up for me in the moment. One day, I’m strongly convicted about one path and the next I’m just as convicted about another path. What do I do with that? It is what it is, and then it isn’t. I have to book flights. I have to make decisions. I have to find some thread that leads me forward into some new reality. I feel tossed about by the waves. I appreciate this poem.
Thank you. I hate feeling tossed about by the waves almost as much as I hate the phrase “it is what it is.” But it really is what it is, and sometimes acknowledging that is all we have to hold on to.
"I’m certainly old enough that I should have long ago made peace with the narrow and culturally fragile circumstances under which one’s cosmic citizenship is appreciable." Great sentence.
