[Over the Edge]

creation, freedom, change

This blog began in 2003 as a chronicle of my life at Twin Oaks Community.
I left in January 2006, and now I write as a mother seeking a good life for her daughter
(and the rest of us, too)

A reminder from my dad (and Socrates)... 

Remember that there is nothing stable in human affairs; therefore
avoid undue elation in prosperity, or undue depression in adversity.
~ Socrates


This seems to be a key lesson for me these days, not getting attached
to what feels great, and not getting fatalistic about what feels bad.

And to aid me in that endeavor, today I looked at pictures of cosmic
wonders, pictures from the Hubble Telescope. They reminded me that
there are so many things I don't know and don't understand, and I
can just sit back in awe.
