I was thinking today about what it means to be an adult, and I suddenly got this very strong image of Billy and I as all of the ages we have been, all together in one being, just being ourselves in the world. Our lives were being created by who we are inside, interacting with what is possible around us. It was a very peaceful, powerful and vulnerable moment that I glimpsed. It was kind of like wandering around, not knowing what we're doing, but knowing better and better who we are and so learning how we want to create the world around us.
I guess it's kind of hard to explain, but I felt much better after I saw that emotional image of maturing personhood. Like who we are inside is the most powerful force we can express. Maybe I'm talking about our souls. Hmm.
