Trade-Offs

"Whoever said that you can have it all is fudging on what 'all' is."

I resent(ed), and resist(ed), that remark for nearly ten years, issued as it was from the mouth of a career woman turned fundamentalist. (It is to be noted that our ships crossed somewhere in the night.) But alas, I begin--albeit grudgingly--to acquiesce.

And with apologies to Dylan Thomas, who surely deserves better, I exhort myself: Go not gently into that dark night (of reduced expectations and limited capacity)! / Rage, rage against the dying of the light (of ideals and possibilities and Big Things)!

More soon.
