-Mel Danes
We struggle to grow, evolve and sometimes just survive.
The last 6 months of my life have found me adrift looking for purpose. Beset by problems from without and within, I have felt a wide range of emotions, elation, rage, triumph and failure. Through it all I had a lingering sense it was leading me somewhere.
Life it seems has a plan for us even when we cannot see it.
After years away from School (Ferris State University) I have committed to finishing my degree. One simple class is all that lay between an incomplete experience and graduation. The sense of this moment is like the forlorn hope into the fortress of the unknown. So much potentiality wrapped up in a simple math class, the pivotal moment in focus and I can actually see it happening. Possible futures coalescing into reality.
Recently my father, a willful 76 year old, has had an extreme health experience. He looks like he will be coming out of it in pretty good shape. Between the worry and planning for the worst I have realized my being back in town allows me to try and get right with my Father.
There is so much happening in my life right now, it feels overwhelming. So we come back to the title. The glimmer of the future, if I can keep this cart on the tracks for just a little longer, oh man where we can go.
I hope to write here soon a story of triumph.
Consider this the place holder.
