Reconnecting.

Have spent the better part of the last two years seriously... Under. Water. Only now, do I feel like I am finally in the process of rising to the surface, to reconnecting--ready to rebuild bridges between past lives and present.

Was talking to my wonderful friend Tal the other day, and making analogies about phases of our life and "senior year." Like, throughout our lives, we progressively graduate from one thing to the next, leave shed one life to enter another. We move to another apartment, take a new job, move to a new city. We buy homes, have babies.

And as much as I love that analogy, I realize how much of the last two years has been less like graduation (the shift from the senior year of one thing into the freshman year of the next), than a truly difficult and painful transition from one kind of life to a totally new one. Like a birth. Painful, poopy, and lots of tears. But once everyone is cleaned off and sewn up... you stare into the wide light and the possibility of everything. Right there in your arms.
