I wanted to Busy know we had an issue with our teen in the London airport! My oldest has a different last name (first marriage). So we got flagged since our names didn’t match in the London airport. I didn’t have any signed paperwork from my ex...luckily we had our diplomatic passports and showed how we all were on the same travel authorization/credentials...but it was definitely a moment of panic.
There is nothing more tangible than something unexpected. When the unpredictable happens we are drowned and consumed and swallowed by it. The cacophony is all we see. The haze is all we hear. Everything becomes inverted as we navigate the unknown. Yet, everything is this way. We are no more able to predict the depth of our next breath than we are the roll of a six sided dice. We can plan all we want and then watch as the sands shift beneath our feet. We thought we were on concrete. We were not. My daughter, who also goes to school thousands of miles away fell ill at the start of 2020 and as panic ensued I realized she was in the best possible country for this to happen and not my own. yet, 6 months earlier, she herself protested enough for everyone to be convinced that her being in Europe was not going to happen. Yet, there she was. Being attended to by a health care system designed toi help her, not profit from her emergency. I remember years ago, decades ago, when the internet was looser, and booking flights was precarious business. My ex-wife used my British card to pay for an American domestic flight and had not realized until check in. She expected to be told she could not travel to see me as I lay wounded from an attack. But the charge went though and the ticket was waiting for her and she traveled to see me. She was so overwhelmed by what she called the 'randomness' of my being stabbed, and I reminded her of the same chaos that made it possible for her to be at my bedside. All of the chaos and order we perceive is unpredictable. The steps we take can be measured to the inch, yet a single thought can distract us enough to make us wobble. There is no randomness. The good and the bad, and the right and the wrong; are equally unexpected and frankly all I hear is JOY when your voices share your views of yourselves in the big, bad, beautiful world. I am grateful for what I have found. Thank you. And please, be aware of the beauty that causes the chaos and the beauty it produces; as you are both a part of it. As am I.
