The Week I Inhabited My Own Life
There are weeks that ask us to endure. There are weeks that ask us to become. And then, every so often, there is a week that simply asks us to inhabit everything we have already become. This was that week. Just one week earlier, I stood at the edge of profound grief, preparing to lose someone who has shaped the course of my life. The sadness was real. It still is. But this week taught me something equally true: Grief does not disappear when joy arrives. It simply rests for a while as life reminds us why we continue walking. And life was generous.
