The Cost of 9.19

Interesting to me that on the anniversary date of my total hysterectomy and oophorectomy, I had to drive by the medical center that, not only did I deliver my first baby at, but it was the center that housed the doctor that ultimately pressed for the removal of my uterus and fallopian tubes and my ovaries.  He took one look at my scans and one look at me and taking into consideration the worst…

THE ROAD NOT TAKEN

Two roads diverged in a yellow woodAnd sorry I could not travel bothAnd be one traveller, long I stoodAnd looked down one as far as I couldTo where it bent in the undergrowth; Then took the other, as just as fair, And having perhaps the better claim,Because it was grassy and wanted wear;Though as for that the passing thereHad worn them really about the same, And both that morning equally layIn…

Poem: The Road Not Taken by Robert Frost

Robert Frost ( 1874 – 1963 ) Two roads diverged in a yellow wood,And sorry I could not travel bothAnd be one traveler, long I stoodAnd looked down one as far as I couldTo where it bent in the undergrowth; Then took the other, as just as fair,And having perhaps the better claim,Because it was grassy and wanted wear;Though as for that the passing thereHad worn them really about the same, And…

Shades of Longing

I think of them bothand I wonder which I miss more: the one I have greater record of, the emails and the poems and the shows or the one I had more interactions with, the drinks and the late nights and conversations. Neither were deep or detailed enough for me to have left a strong impression but enough for me to be smitten, bit until enslaved as familiar to their succubi powers. I am forever…

Reblogging to shout out a few of the many amazing tags on this poll which i think deserve to be seen—

I agree with all of this so so much and especially what all of you are saying about how the lines between platonic and romantic love are so often blurred and that reality is simply much more complex than a tumblr poll can address. He loves her period is RIGHT. And at least for me I think i also can’t separate these confessions from the intent I see behind them which is like, love without expectation. I don’t think Jamie is confessing he loves her in s2 thinking they’re going to actually get back together or to even propose that happening in any way. It’s more that he just wants her to know what she means to him (whether it be platonic or romantic or a bit of BothAnd) and that he’s thankful for her role in his life. At the end of the day he loves her, that love is something special, and it’s something he wants to be forever, I think. It doesn’t matter so much what form that takes, whether it means friendship or a relationship or what have you. After all, Jamie does know that isn’t only his choice to make. Most of all he just wants her to always be a part of his life and i think that’s what so beautiful about the two of them. <3

*the confessions I'm referring to are the funeral scene in s2 and the finale scene with Roy in s3

December has something to tell you…

Merry and Happy to you. Even if the words carry with them redefined meanings because of the complexities of their BothAnds. I hope for you that your 2024 can be filled with presence. With noticing. With curiosity. With mindfulness and intentionality for the moments. Let life change you. Wonder about what can challenge you.

Hard Work AND Discipline

Hard Work AND Discipline

Out of all the life lessons I teach my children, there is one thing that I want to engrain in my children’s mindset – You can do and become anything you want with hard work and discipline. There is nothing that can stand in their way if they put in the hard work and have discipline. In fact, the only person who will stand in their way is themselves. Also, it’s not “either, or” it is “both, and”.…

Tautoko, @hepsfx. This week has been a conflicting one for me too. As a follower of Jesus I pledge ultimate allegiance Jesus, whose kindom is the antithesis of worldly kingdoms. (Well at least it should be. Unfortunately the reign of God has been co-opted by the death-dealing logic of earthy kingdoms with horrific results). This week I have wrestled with issues of church and state, the crown, the fact that a family is grieving, and the tragic history of the British Empire and the havoc it wreaked on indigenous peoples. In Hohepa's post about QE2 Heps did something vitally important. He moved beyond either/or and embraced the both/and (we need more of this). Heps recognised that QE2 was human, has family and friends who are grieving, and acknowledged that creating space for mourning is important. And he didn't shy away from drawing attention the history of violence associated with the British Monarchy and the British Empire and its heartbreaking impact on indigenous peoples. Embracing both/and is difficult and messy but if we are to move forward it's work we need to do. Shot, Heps! Love your mahi. ♥️🙏✌️#bothand #messytruth https://www.instagram.com/p/CihQvO-OaJW/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
