I’ve a son who is leading the way. He has had the courage to choose a bigger box to live in than his little mother has had the courage to choose. His actions have challenged mine. As a result, I’ve grown discontent with my little box.
I don’t always understand this son, nor do I always agree with him. Sometimes I think that he is young and impetuous and he has a lot to learn. Sometimes I wish he would be less of a rebel. But more times than not I am challenged by him and I’m honored to be his mom.
So Josh, you are on my radar. Not because I feel a need to monitor or control you. No. Instead, I’m watching you because I can see in you a young man who desires to live a real life, a significant life, a passionate life, and I don’t want to be left behind!
Luann, I am so struck by your essay! What a gift! I hope you continue to follow these urges to express yourself! They are life-serving and profound! Warmly, Jessica
Jessica,
Thank you for the affirmation. Writing is a very vital part of my person. I must confess that I do not treat myself to the time I should for written expression. . . too busy with the business of OHVA.
