I can’t keep up. The emotion event rate of my life feels overwhelming. I wonder if this is how it is for most people entering middle age. BTW, when does someone enter middle age?
Sons undergoing personal transformation in their adulthood, one stoked about school, the other moving away to live with his girlfriend, daughter entering puberty, her school totally making a mess of math placement, the ups and downs of my relationship with my wife, coming to terms with the last six years, refinancing a home, the stress of a changing and uncertain job situation, a whole reorganization of my men’s group, mother moving to Mexico because her health will not let her fly back, brother going on a drunk, friends going through their own transformations, listening to Adya talk about enlightenment, getting nudged to enter those fears, needing to deal with the things that just need to get done. I know there is much more, but I don’t want to write it down, but some of it is reflected in this journal. My list feels immense.
I wonder why I have chosen this path. I wonder why We have we chosen this path.
Red slime, it goes on, it endures all. Everything comes and goes, but the red slime remains.
