The carousel goes round and around. Today I had a cup of tea with a dear friend whose wisdom, courage and fortitude I greatly admire. She balances lives and parents and kids and suicide watches and kindness like one of those amazing jugglers who keeps adding plates, and all with such grace and love. Did I mention kindness?
This carousel of life has ups and downs and sometimes I feel that we don't know what animal we are going to be riding when it all stops and we have to get off. Or which animal, in the scramble for a spot, we will end up mounting.
I am reminded, in the scramble and the hurly burly music and the dizziness, that these things are temporary. That there is actually solid ground beneath the carousel, and that that solid ground will be there long after the carousel has been packed up and moves on.
I'm very grateful for that solid ground.
(Finding our feet again. Living beyond this moment. Eternity in our eyes. Here's to friends and tea.)
