FEYNMAN AND ME on Questions and Answers

September 10, 2024

 

Me, too.

Which is why, when my 58-year-old inventor son Colin, then three years old, asked me, “Mom, which is more real, my dreams or yesterday?” I responded, genuinely thrilled at the imaginative reach of his young mind, “GREAT QUESTION, COLIN!”

Colin, friend (and his housemate, when home) Marita and I met downtown Bloomington today for breakfast. I took photos and wrote a post that documented that momentous occasion, the first ever, since his aortic catastrophe that left him paralyzed and with painful nerve damage, on August 16, 2023.

I write daily posts to update folks on Colin’s long, and at times arduous recovery process, during which he inspires all who either read the posts, speak with him on the phone, or visit him in person. Over and over again, I’ve heard, from various people, “whatever I’m going through, it’s nothing, compared to Colin.”

BTW: wordpress support recently insisted on updating my site and now I see that the first three posts they list as on 9/10/24, are NOT. Will get back to them. Grrr . . .

Short and “sweet”? No. Short and profound.

This post, that is.

I offer here, two memes, in this order.

Get that bat out of the wheel!

Go to bat for yourself!

Shadow work was the most difficult, and the most rewarding, of my entire life. I spent 7 years on this project, nearly full-time, helping “Orphan Annie” heal from her difficult, buried memories. An extraordinary time. As a result, I’ve never again needed another person in my life to complete me. I had, finally, become whole, achieved through what Jung called the “process of individuation.”
