Current No. 3 of 31 · the second half of life
The Lamp Upstairs
Strong in Story: making sense of the life I have lived
Growing in Ease: being at home in my body and my days
You keep the reading lamp burning upstairs while the furnace in the basement runs all night. Upstairs, you have done something rare: made sense of a whole life, hard chapters included.
You will recognize this
It shows up at night, mostly. The house is quiet, the thinking is done, and the body is still on duty: the jaw set, the shoulders up near the ears. You have explained the day to yourself. Nobody explained it to your neck.
When something has to be thought through, the call comes to you. You can say what a loss taught you, why a move was right in the end, what the years of caring for someone were for. Your account of a hard year is clear, fair and finished.
This season
The body carried you for decades, and there was no time to listen to it. Now it speaks up more: a stiff morning, a short night. This season has room, at last, to listen.
