It’s the best description I have heard for that transition to parenting. It’s a life-changing and identity-shattering experience. And that is how year two of indie life has felt for me.
When I first became a parent, a friend told me parenting is like “walking through a door, and as soon as you pass through the door, the door shuts behind you and disappears forever.”
It's my 2-year Indieversary. So I wrote about walking through doors and making new roads. fornow.substack.com/p/2-year-loo...
Paying attention & noticing: time travel on the wings of the blue heron in search of the richness of particulars. A post about how bird-watching creeps up on us and the intertwined relationship with the unknown that we enter into by paying attention. fornow.substack.com/p/paying-att...
Things in motion stay in motion. “In that moment, I feared that inertia would defeat me this time. That a body at rest will stay at rest. And the fear of complacency is valid. The lure of comfort is real. Looking back at it now, I see it as another tempo change, a part of the natural rhythm of life”
I saved that quote too 🙈
