By this time of year commencement is over and the leftover potato salad, ham and congratulations cake from all those grad parties have been put away. For many parents this passage is a benchmark in their own journey with respect to their family nest. My 13 year old daughter left the nest this morning, if only for a short while, to embark on a 24 day journey that will take her to the Alaskan wild.
My previous post began a reflection on a collective conscious that connects my life with the meaning and mission of past travelers from other times. Today my thoughts are on Kaitlyn and how her own emerging meaning and mission is itself shaped to an undeniable extent by my own journey, especially that part that is revealed and experienced within the framework of family. Likewise I carry something of her meaning and mission. Life is never exclusively about my own meaning and mission nor do I live my life alone.
The family I have tried to build is neither new nor my exclusive creation. There is but one nest that my family and I share with you, with all who came before us and with all who will follow.
