No time to write. No time to write.
But maybe to write is the most important thing.
To ground ourselves, steady ourselves,
To right ourselves.
To be written.
Rashi writes, "Accept with simplicity everything that happens to you".
And Daddy goes to have his corneas checked,
knowing that the checking won't fix the corneas,
and that accepting won't cure,
but will maybe heal.
Medicine in old age
and perhaps in birthing too:
to know when acceptance
is the gift we can doula the patient towards.
In the same movie that quoted Rashi's "Accept with simplicity", a student didn't understand the Uncertainty Principle. "Even if you can't figure it out, you're still responsible for it on the midterm".
And that's what I say about meaning, and about meaninglessness, and about just about everything:
Even if you can't figure it out, you're still responsible for it on the midterm.
