[QUOTE="Scent of Cedar *, post: 681471, member: 17461"] Hi, Albatross. :O) It's so nice to see you. That is the battle for us I think. Not to write the end of the story and then, forget that we don't know any smallest thing about what is really happening, or about what is coming next. We fall into believing our interpretation of what is happening to our kids and to ourselves and extend what little we know, and whatever we've gotten wrong, into the ending or the meaning of the story we then write in our hearts. Then, we believe that feeling, those feelings, are something real. And we become sad, and resigned, and hopelessness is just a breath away from us, then. We are learning to come into balance around not knowing. This is so hard, because everything that matters about ourselves and our lives and our self concepts and our children (!) hangs in that balance somewhere. Like a star or something so beautiful to us. And we are in the rabbit hole, where nothing makes sense. I remember your having posted that phrase about the rabbit hole for us once, Albatross. I have never forgotten it, and have been able to take some comfort there many times. Very nice to see you again, Alby. Cedar [/QUOTE]
