Beautiful, Chelsea, thank you so much. What might have been vs What is. Such an interesting situation. But you are quite sure that you are where you are supposed to be, and that's wonderful.

Thank you, Rosalind. I think you raise an interesting question too: what it means to be where we're supposed to be! How much of that is active choice, or momentum, or outer circumstance, etc. And then how to live well within it all.

Thank you for this meditation. As so often happens, your words come at a significant time for me, where the question of pathways seems to loom large. You remind me that doors close, as they should, and while others open, hankering after what has gone helps no one.

Thank you for this reflection, Terri. Your comment reminds me that letting go of some of those paths not taken, and also discerning which paths to take, is a lifelong practice.

Chelsea, I love the little video of the dancing shadow stars!

Thank you! We hung up these little dangling stars last week and they just happened to catch the sun rising in the morning!

Chelsea, how truly beautiful this is. We choose, somtimes by default, we stumble into, a choice is made for us, but we live into this path we are moving on and the becomings we are moving toward. I love your brilliant writing. Thank you!~

Yes, they do! And absolutely--child or no child, having the capacity to imagine and dream is so wonderful (and often so frustrating, hah). But I really like your interpretation, that by doing this, our minds keep us questioning which is also a way of keeping us tuned in and paying attention.
