Deep water

I love all of the three Portishead albums and there are many songs that I could have chosen. This one came on shuffle just the other day and I remembered how much I had liked it a few years back.

It actually made me reflect on my own life at this point. I joke sometimes about having multiple adolescences (at least 5 by my count in the last 35 years). Here I go again.

I think this adolescence is something about facing the changes that happen as I head deeper into the middle of my life. I hope I have the grace and strength and courage to grow as a person as my son grows up and my family ages and continue to see the joy and possibility (as well as the reality and scope) of what lies ahead.

And probably dealing with long held grief over the big losses I’ve seen unfold around me and my family and friends. Love to all of you who are no longer here – for what it’s worth.

Maybe I can do separate posts on my other adolescences later…

It is a little daunting but I still know how to swim.
