Some may migrate to southern California to Florida, and many others may prefer the Panama expanse. Most of the hummingbirds flight to Mexican regions during winter.

All of these stories of what happens to our kids as they sidle up towards adulthood are in my mind this week, as I put together my online classes on Pagan/spiritual parenting. There's a lot to think about. Oh, how awful!

What makes one succumb while another one thrives? I don’t understand it, and all my pat answers, fears and suspicions merely mask the fact that I simply don’t know. I can’t keep my kids safe now that they’re grown, and the more beautifully they blossom the more I am aware of how fragile our hold is on this life we cherish. I have three teen age boys, one of whom is 17, and discovered this past week that someone he knows murdered an elderly man who was out delivering Christmas cards to his neighbors. Scary times. But hopeful ones, too. The boys are talking - to each other, to me, to their dad... Hope is all we've got sometimes. And hummingbird feeders, too. ::hugs:: (long time lurker) You said:

Some in a blaze of glory & other in a feeling of defeat/gloom. As you quoted above: in the chill predawn fog of a final wish in the world, and the sun rising through it. blessings & love to you Having kids can certainly be one of the scariest things……….all the knowledge & philospophy we’ve gained thru living/for ourselves stripped away (at times).
