My big test seems to be the death of my parents. The lesson was indeed subtle and fine. I have been trying to get it out in the open, poking holes in the grey cloth that covers it and me, all these almost 20 years since.
That might just be the lesson, from an angle: to find one’s true self, one’s essence, to find these within family, tribe, nation, planet, galaxy, universe, mother universe. It is a discovery of distinction and of relation. It is a discovery of engagement, meeting, conversation, poetry.
