“Here. Where I am anonymous and alone in a white room with no history and no parading. So I can make something unknown in the shape of this room. Where I am King of Corners. ”
―Michael Ondaatje
How have you re-made yourself during a time of emptiness?
I was a major caretaker for my Mom as she aged and died. After she died, Ihad a strange sense of unimportance. I’ve heard others refer to this feeling too after they have devoted much of their time in caregiving. I know it is a great part of one’s life at the time and afterward, one has to revise what will replace that time of caring. It is and isn’t easy to do this.
