A lovely, wistful, brief meditation…

…on sending kids off to school.  And into life, in general, in case the homeschoolers reading this don't think it applies to us.

To be heartbroken is to be separated from the scene of your happiness. Happiness is a situation, not a condition. The situation must be assembled from the tatty bits of this world over and over. It is the cook, not the philosopher, that we must look to. One must not starve to death waiting for the food.


…I was happy, of course, the whole time my heart was breaking.


Mm.
