undone

the past couple of weeks, i’ve come undone. this, i know, is life. over and over again, we become undone. the practicing comes in accepting it, being in it, and not retreating in utter fear. i’m still practicing. the thing is, all that we’ve learned our entire lives tells us otherwise: to hold on tight.Continue reading “undone”

for the past ten days, my brother and i have accompanied my mom through test after test, appointment after appointment–126 in total. we have been waiting in limbo-land for life and death information. waiting at the intersection of life and death, living takes on a realness that is both heavy and liberating. the heaviness comesContinue reading “waiting”
