Today I wish for myself:
• this time that I have right now to make a wish list without any interruptions
• ability to concentrate on grading & writing reports, not obsessing about every word that I write—moving quickly, efficiently
• not obsessing about the unknowns—patience and compassion in a time of standstill
• strength, courage, and wisdom to "set my house in order"—and then just be, knowing I did my part
• ability to follow the voice I heard at Moshe's grave: So live.
• dinner—I need to remember to eat!
• connection with friends who make me feel loved
• openness
• ...at the same time, resistance to hyper-empathy
• once again, be able to follow in Baldwin's footsteps and find in myself today (and everyday this week—small steps!), the courage necessary for love—boundless, uninhibited, guilt-free, doubt-free love, both as a giver and a receiver. Yesyes.
