As a single grandpa, living alone, this piece resonated with me. The imagery of the empty nest, which sometimes leave me sad, beautifully conveys hope and the endless possibilities where I will be needed or where I may need others. I pray that I will always be present and ready when the call comes.
I love this line: “I’m not just talking about certain vocations which I give myself over to with enthusiasm and even passion, but that moment-by-moment certainty that I am meant to be here and now, alive, functioning, a channel, like everyone and everything else, for both past and future.” Thank you, Eve!
Beautifully written, Eve. Many thanks. We share the same experience of empty nest syndrome & I’m on the west coast. Also appreciate & share your thoughts on our current political situation.
Thank you, Eve.
