blather
postpartum
daxle I feel like I wasn't really doing anything with my life before I had a baby.
Which is not to say that nothing else is important. Lots of things are important, and even the small things are life changing.
But nothing else is so all encompassing. Constant (though always changing).
Finally starting to understand the Buddhist concept of losing self/ego.
There is no me apart from you, or you, or that. Just a temporary blob that's swapping matter back and forth slowly over time (or quickly, over the span of time).

kids helped me learn the buddhist concept of right_livelihood . i might not make buckets of money but my job has changed my insides. (i don't really know any other clearer way to say that)

daxle I hear you, about the insides. Being around kids made me want to be kinder. First to them, and then to everyone else. 100726

ClairE Amen. I just got back from a week with my friends' beautiful kids and I feel like I accomplished more in four days than I have with the rest of my year. I so look forward to the day when I have one of my own. 100829
