the_best_of_both_worlds
lostgirl those poignant words i kept hearing yesterday.

someone said them in passing during a breakfast conversation i was not participating in, and the phrase slipped through my conscious thought like a cool breeze but then snagged like a piece of red_and_blue yarn from a scarf caught on a tree branch.

i then heard it again on the chairlift as a young dad tried to explain to his daughter the reasons she should attempt snowboarding in addition to skiing....

and then i heard it again from the director of the school from which i had recently opted out of teaching.

"there's a place for you here....you can have the best of both worlds."

if_only it all could be that simple.
