Still dizzy, so nothing new today. I’ll be back soon, I hope!
In the meantime, I hope you’re all reading The Mid. I love this site, dedicated to life in the “messy middle.” I’m happy that that one of my favorite pieces went up there this weekend, about a night at hockey when I felt painfully aware of how often I allow my own exhaustion or aggravation to occlude the beauty of this ordinary, flawed existence.
It’s not new, but it’s still salient (to me), this desperate wish to be here now and of the simultaneous weight of my expectation that I can do so all the time. Is my constant sense of failing to be present getting in the way of my actually being present?
