creditEvery one of us is called upon, probably many times, to start a new life. A frightening diagnosis, a marriage, a move, a loss of a job. And onward full tilt we go, pitched and wrecked and absurdly resolute, driven in spite of everything to make good on a new shore. To be hopeful, to embrace one possibility after another — that is surely the basic instinct.
Crying out: High tide!
Time to move out into the glorious debris.
Time to take this life for what it is.
