At work, we've been undergoing some re-construction. Some days, it feels like we've lost our moorings. Other days, it feels like our family has been ripped apart. Today, it feels a bit like being on vacation from ourselves. Admittedly, what we are experiencing is nothing compared to some of the difficult work or non-work that others are experiencing. I simply want to complain to someone. Without being fixed, soothed, or shrunk by a shrink. I only want to complain.
This past week, in the midst of heart-aching, mind-numbing, brain-bashing transitions, a friend said keep your rudder in the water and your eyes on the stars.
So, am stargazing.
Nothing yet.
Nothing, yet...
we are all in the gutter, but some of us are looking at the stars...
