I’m visting my son in Michigan where he’s at school and I was talking with one of his college roommates. I sat on an incredibly comfortable couch (that was going to give me a backache) in their filthy living room. My son’s friends are amazing. Kind, genuine young men who are so much wiser than I was at their age. Back then, I thought old people had just made a bad choice to be so unstylishly old. I believed that I had naturally figured out life by being young — an excellent choice that rewarded me in many ways. It turns out that I loved taking credit for undeserved blessings.
Loved this. Each path may hold regrets which can feel unavoidable. Better to focus on the positive reasons the choices we make between forked paths afford us. And I agree that more forks mean more options open. Regret can take up too much headspace and spoil precious time. Live, move, decide and cherish every path unfolding.
Love this, Sean. Love that Kazu is at Michigan where Isaac went too. Love that I remember sitting on lumpy, oft filthy couches with his pals having similarly angst-filled discussions. Teaching anyone to just allow their life to unfold and to be present as it does has been 1) the hardest thing to convey and 2) probably because it’s been the hardest thing for me to learn myself . But I try. I try all the time to learn it and share it.
