I don't know if what I'm doing is the right thing to be doing.
The eyes of my long deceased grandmother look back at me from a picture that fell off the wall as I wrote an email that impacted some of her legacy. Made me pay attention. They hold immense care. Immense caring. They love. And they ask whether I know what I'm doing. They look at me with acceptance and a polite question. A knock on the door on a sunday afternoon, a gentle nod. She knew what she cared about. I'm scared that when I get what I really want, I'll realize a curse beyond my horizon line, and it will be far too late in the day to turn back home and decide that I didn't actually want to go on the trip I'd been preparing for over the last few years. Then what will I do?
