Body Parts Series: Face With Wishbone by Teri Hannigan

 

2018

 

Face with Wishbone

When I see my daughter bravely working things out in her life, my heart goes out to her.

When her heart is breaking, my heart is breaking, too.

A million thoughts flood over me, and I want to offer some kind of wisdom to her. Wisdom I’d want to soak up like a sponge first, before wringing it out to her:

“Life is freefall. Life is this right now. You won’t escape it. Don’t waste your time trying. Don’t waste another moment giving attention to hopes of escape. Turn and face the fullness of life with the spirit of love. Love so fully that you won’t turn away no matter what. Whatever life presents, face it, welcome it, love it. The feelings you fear will destroy you, face them. See the face of the beloved even there.”
–Joey Lott

I pulled a card at random from my Wisdom of the Hidden Realms deck and this one came up:

THE DREAM WALKER
I took a photo with this card and a wishbone from my altar.

My daughter, like everyone else, has her own path and is doing exactly what she should be doing.
And yet, when her heart is breaking, my heart is breaking, too.
