So thoughtful .... I always feel like these essays are a conversation with you. I laugh and cry in most episodes. Of course, we all want belonging and significance... whose "job" is that when we are adults? Sometimes we act (or I should say "I" the way you do!) like it's someone else's job. ..but it's not.
Sarah, again a funny, painfully sad and redeeming piece of writing - a wonderful poem at the end. Lovely Kim Taylor coda.
Sending you love.
Thank you Soares! Miss you.

oh jeez Leslie, dont get me started on giving ourselves the feeling of belonging and significance...that is something I am not adept at!
This is just so beautiful. Every word. How is it possible we describe so many vastly different ways of being human together parenting?
Love you, Wheeler.
My heart. All of it.
