Oh Benighted—you know I LOVE your reflections and I gain so much insight. You have me thinking about “security” and what was my why….
I think of “signals” I learned from my parents and the structure of school dynamics, culture—and what’s applauded.
Quantity has always been a big part of my life: just today a friend said:
Nat you’re always doing so much.
I denied that and she said: it’s just you…it’s neither good nor bad.
Maybe—anyhow, you’re making me reflect on whether it was quantity—
Sometimes though—what on the outside for some seems like quantity, still brings a quality of life for another.
I see little “quantity” in my friends life in terms of activity —but I can’t say her quality of life is anything I’d ever want.
But what’s in her pocket is wayyyy more. So a lot of what we end up seeking and working for speaks to what are our priorities….

Anyhow—I’m blabbering.

I so want to read about your reflection if you do end up being willing to write!!

Biggest hug! Thank you for reading mine!!💙
