grasping

Aging parents. 

Aging kids. 

Aging me. 

Those three things dictate so much of my reality right now.

Unknown. Flux. Uncertainly. Lack of control. Confusion. 

Things that for the most part make me exceedingly uncomfortable. 

Change. 

And growing. Growing more dependent. Or independent. Gaining wisdom. Growing wings. Getting bigger. Or shrinking smaller. 

It's all so unsettling. I wish I could freeze time and not have sand contantly shifting under my feet, if only for a day or two. An hour here or there. A moment. 

A moment to appreciate all I have. All I love. How precious and profound and important and mundane all this is. 

Wishing I had a profound thought to wrap up with but tonight this is all I've got.
