It is the Simple Act

The last Facebook post written by Elizabeth Edwards, wife of two-time presidential candidate John Edwards prior to her death in December 2010:

You all know that I have been sustained throughout my life by three saving graces – my family, my friends, and a faith in the power of resilience and hope. These graces have carried me through difficult times and they have brought more joy to the good times than I ever could have imagined. The days of our lives, for all of us, are numbered. We know that. And, yes, there are certainly times when we aren't able to muster as much strength and patience as we would like. It's called being human.

But I have found that in the simple act of living with hope, and in the daily effort to have a positive impact in the world, the days I do have are made all the more meaningful and precious. And for that I am grateful. It isn't possible to put into words the love and gratitude I feel to everyone who has and continues to support and inspire me every day. To you I simply say: you know.

Could not be said any better.

Uncertainty Principle

Tired of knowing everything without ever
being sure
~B. Andreas



So I find myself in a situation where I am on a fence; the very edge of it, where tipping over can take me to very different yards.

I’ve learned enough about myself to know the things I want. I also know enough that I am not afraid to ask for it. I am not afraid to work for it. The things I want in life, my future as undefined as they are, they are things worth fighting for.

So what do I do? All I can do for right now is sit there. I'll swing my legs for now & enjoy the view. There won’t be another time when it’s as easy as this.
