Wow Maureen! this was simply the best best post--I absolutely love it. So many words of wisdom. Several stand out: " What if . . . the very path that looks like a detour is actually the road?"

"What if what’s meant for us can’t be missed, only stalled, delayed, avoided, or resisted until life, in its strange mercy, has its way with us?"

"What if the real question isn’t how to keep steering our destiny, but how to loosen our white-knuckle grip on the wheel?" Thank you so much for this post! I really needed this more than I knew-- and I love EVERY word of it, and have also been reading Eliz Bobrick's series on Oedipus, so it dovetails nicely. Gracias!!!!
