My heart is so full. At the same time that I was working to help in the birth of a new space for my work, my grandfather was at the very end of his life. I've had some of the happiest working days of my life in my new classroom and yet the same time that I was packing to go home and mourn, the most compelling politician of my lifetime accomplished his first step in becoming president. While my emotions are changing from moment to moment, their pitch, their intensity stays steadily strong.
I'm heading home tomorrow, and then to Maine with my family for my grandpa's funeral. It'll my first time in Maine in maybe 10 years, and my first time eating with my family since I stopped eating meat.
I'm breathing very deeply and slowly almost all the time.
