To Jackee from Claire

Jackee,
Your post about your student, Lana, made me cry. I really hear your line, "Busyness is a disease."

And each time we don't have our priorities straight, and don't have the love to push for ourselves and others, we diminish ourselves.

Good luck on your book. But more important, strength on keeping on. That is the bloodline of a full life.(I write that knowing it with all my heart, and yet do not practice it all the time.)
The publishing/the flowering is wonderful, much to be desired, but doing it, my God, that is so very much enough.
Every time I read about people like Lana who work despite huge obstacles, I feel foolish about how I let my little ones buffalo me.
thanks for post, Claire Holcomb
