Bigger. Better. Stop!

-

    • I've run a 5-km race, so now I'll train for a half-marathon, and then a full one. 
    • I've learned to ride a bike, so now I'll take on deep-sea diving. 
    • I can draw, so next I'll learn to paint. 

Sheesh! 

Always more, always better, always bigger. 

Why? 

Why not be content with what we have in hand? With what we can do with ease and joy and satisfaction. Why not simply stay the course and do more of the same. 

That's my plan, anyway. 

A month of daily posts to this blog in May was exhilarating, challenging, fun. But daily posts are not sustainable for me at the moment and publishing something bigger than a blog overwhelms me at the moment, so I'm going to return to what I've done successfully in the past: weekly posts. Because, sometimes (often?) doing more of what we have been doing, rather than forcing ourselves "to the next level", is, actually, what success looks like. 

Look for me at the finish line, because, with weekly posts, I know I'll get there, feeling both joy and satisfaction. 

Note: I have never run a 5-km race, have no interest in deep-sea diving, and cannot draw never mind paint!

    The voice of sanity!

    Do what feels right for you personally, and question whose voice in your head is pushing you beyond reasonable limits. :)

Listening for the piano / Thinking about grief

Grief is not a land in which I have travelled much, though I routinely explore it via others’ experience. I am drawn to do this as a student is drawn to the masters: To observe, to sit with, to wonder if those others’ experiences might help prepare me for my own when I find myself in that place. Will it? Sara Paretsky, author of the V.I. Warshawski mystery series, says that the grief over her long-time husband’s death hit her like a grand piano falling out of the sky onto her head. There is no pre-mourning, she says. Nonetheless, I persist in my studies: Memoirs of loss. Stories of grief. Tales of survival. I sit with those experiences. The words, the feelings, the anguish wash over me. And I ask myself: Will the sun rise tomorrow? Will I see it when it does?  Should I worry about this? Should I just expect, presume that what has always been will always be? Absurd. It will not always be. The loves of my life are all older, are all old. 95, my mother. Almost 80, my p...

Anniversary post: This year marks 31 together

Amanda and Val: many years ago and today.  Man, look how young we were. Sheesh. Thirty-one years and counting certainly shows. But who in their right mind would care about wrinkles or grey hair when it is a good and generous love that has propelled us through the years together.  Every good story is told through both summary and scenes. Val & Amanda’s story: The summary A generous love that has withstood the challenges of two bouts of cancer and multiple joint replacements, of job changes and career disappointments, of cats found and cats lost, of parents living and parents dying. Two women, together, building a good life. Amanda: Three scenes April 1997: Val and I are driving from Winnipeg  down through the Dakotas and Wyoming and Utah to Arizona, camping in a tent along the way and marvelling at what we can do together, still, after Val’s cancer diagnosis earlier that year. At a roadside cafe somewhere in Utah, a woman asks me if we are sisters. Without skipping a b...

If pride comes before a fall, what comes after disappointment?

Disappointment is not something any of us aim for, I’m sure. The very last thing I ever want to be told by someone is that they are disappointed in me. But this week, I have been very disappointed in others. Life goes on, but that niggling thread of “if only” and “why could it not have been different” lingers in the corners of my mind. Last week’s lightening-quick sale of our cottage ended in disappointment all round when the deal fell through at the final hurdle. The details are not what matter here; what matters is that age-old life lesson about counting your chickens before they’re hatched and sharing good news before it is fully rooted and secured. But who among us has not jumped the gun? Presumed that all would go as promised, as planned? Believed in the goodness of people and trusted that the story would unfold as it had begun — smoothly, seamlessly, successfully? Ah, well. Sometimes it just doesn’t. So we find ourselves at a new beginning, with a different round of showings and...
