Day Six. Not sure where I am with all this this morning. Still adjusting. Still pondering purpose. Still hoping that the little I am doing to connect with my kids is helping. Still trying —struggling–to put on a happy face amidst all this and be a model for my family, my students, my colleagues, my community, myself. Still.

And as still remains, I will try to find some stillness to process this. I hope we can all find some stillness in this. I seek it in the outdoors. My wife finds it in her art. My son finds it in his games. My daughter finds it in her horse. May we all find the still we seek in the ripples of this reality.

Do. Reflect. Do Better.
