What a roller coaster ride this past week or so has been. It has been sort of like a high stakes game of chance, but my goal was to play with integrity, so that whatever resulted, I could feel good about my involvement in it. It is not in my nature to stand on the sidelines and so it was not a question of remaining silent or declining to take action. It was more of a question of what actions to take, and there seemed to be at least 3 games going at the same time. Spinning round moment to moment to take up a new challenge or opportunity, I felt at times I was going to lose my footing.
New pleasures and treasures abound today, as does the hangover from the emotional roller coaster ride. I am not sure I knew before that I could be true to myself and also to my friend simultaneously, even if it meant causing pain. I understood the theory but had so far not been brave enough to try. Another life lesson learned, and I am glad.
