Incubator

     I feel like so much of the way home is letting go of the need to understand the world as rational or fair. As I first heard from Byron Katie by way of Iyanla Vanzant by way of Oprah: When you argue against reality, you will suffer. So much pain is generated by the denial of what is, and the courage to accept what is often liberates us to make a conscious choice about what to do next.

     Each one of us faces so many choices right now, as small as the fabric over our faces and as large as the impressions we aspire to make in our lives. This time has forced me to sit with myself in a way I never have before, and while I have arrived at few conclusions, I am learning to trust the implicit incubator in which I find myself. I accept that I am in one, and that when I emerge, I will be the same, and I will be different.
