(A thank you to David Whyte)
I have three marriages in my life.
I have the marriage to my wife, the actual legal marriage that we all think of when we see that word.
I have a marriage to my chosen profession (or professions);
to my job.
I have a marriage to my self, and to personal growth, to finding out who I am.
Each marriage requires time, energy
and constant attention,
each one must grow
or it will be dying.
I used to think of this as
an impossible juggling act
trying to keep all the balls in the air and fearful of one or more dropping
Now I see
the interface
the support
the balance that comes
from the three marriages.
