Happy Birthday Auntie Mary
You would have been 94 today I think? Dad would have been 86 on Wednesday and I think you said you were 8 when he was 'given' to you instead of the baby doll you wanted for your birthday. You are both so much on my mind this week. I'm sorry I didn't ask you both more about family history when you were around.
This 'peace of space' has taken longer than I thought to get going. I'm no good when too many options are offered me - I tend to like them all and have problems choosing. And that takes TIME! And life is about choices - every bit of the way. Peter always says "stop second guessing" - and just get on with it, but I always think of the 'Little Flower' Therese, who when asked to choose from a handful of pretty ribbons said "I choose all"
I like that - an all embracing attitude. I really like that. It feels all wrong to dismiss, disregard, dis-anything... except discover
I would love to include everything - but one has to learn discernment, otherwise everything can be just a muddle with no direction or focus. Art and photography crystallize this for me. And writing - and re-writing. so this web space will be an ongoing experiment in all the variations I can bring together; with time being the catalysing factor.
Dis is a start anyway - YAY!
