What big (or beautifully small) question is living in your soul right now? Wow. What a great question. So here it is. Read this Mary Oliver poem (link: https://hellopoetry.com/poem/5249/the-journey/). Now tell me if she is right. Was I right to leave my dysfunctional family of origin in my 20's to begin life on my own, knowing that others in my family had stayed behind trying to fix each other? Playfulness is my superpower, or so I tell people. But there is an undercurrent of guilt that keeps me from experiencing complete joy for myself.
this was a lovely and thought provoking pod!
