[QUOTE="Scent of Cedar *, post: 616299, member: 17461"] Oh, Recovering...it [U]is[/U] like that, isn't it. We are in that place where the shock is wearing off and cold, gray reality is setting in. It absolutely helps to remember how hard this is. These are hard, hard things. It isn't going to be pleasant, nor should we expect it to be. We are strong. We will make the best choices and take the best actions we know. It will not be perfect...but it [U]will[/U] be the best we know or can learn. I've been thinking so much lately about Brene Brown's observation that we humans are hard wired for challenge. It helps me to think that way, to remember that. And to remember that time will unfold what is to come next in ways we cannot predict. It is mandatory that we open our eyes, that we keep them open, that we expect the pain and the woundedness, spit into the dust, and survive it intentionally. It took much courage to post that for me, Recovering. The imagery is strong enough to touch and heal that hurt, bewildered place I have been stumbling around in for the past day or so. Okay, then. I am determinedly upright. Thank you, Recovering. Cedar Shocking as that imagery is, it is exactly, exactly right. Beautiful. [/QUOTE]
