Sideswiped by Garth

[qos]

Driving to work, feeling good, listening to a random shuffle of tunes on my iPod, and suddenly it's Garth Brooks singing "Two of a Kind Working on a Full House" -- and the clever, exuberant, romantic, silly lyrics slam home to me all that I've lost. Suddenly I'm in tears again for the first time in several weeks.

I'm sorry.

Most of life is successive approximation (says the woman who failed calculus the first time). Very little of it goes in a perfectly straight line, it's a series of guesses, replotting, course adjustments and corrections. We get closer to healing each time, closer to whole, and it is the continued interaction between location and goal that matters, in the end. There is something to learn from each data point.

I know that sounds a little clinical, but it isn't meant that way. This is also a place of learning, and a place from which to evaluate where you are, what is around you, where you want to be. That is meaningful, and I wish you strength and courage, and eventually comfort and peace, with it.

Being a Queen of Swords, I often end up sounding clinical when I don't mean to. So no worries. Thanks for the reminder that grieving is an uneven, sometimes circular, path.
