Wow. I'm not a parent, but I still relate to this feeling. Getting swept up in the currents of life. I have a lot of new responsibilities, family things and young people to mentor...life calling on me in new ways. It's a whole new sea of experience that I'm learning to swim in.
Totally. I remember this feeling too. Your attention is constantly being drawn back to your child so it’s pretty difficult to get focused on anything else. I remember feeling that loneliness of standing still when everything was swirling around me, and seemingly moving forward without me. But it’s helpful to learn how to be where you are — for that moment and for when you are back in the swirl — to appreciate the “standing still now”. Thanks for writing about it ✨
When my son was born I felt fuelled by creative energy. But as he has grown (now 7) my energy has dwindled and I too feel this loss of direction. Thank you for reminding me to gaze at the stars anyway and go with it. 🌟

Mmmm, the loneliness of standing still when everything was swirling around me. This feels so tender and true, Kary. Thank you, thank you for this.
This so poignantly describes the whirlwind the early years of parenthood brings. ✨
Thank you Asia. I can feel my North Star flickering back to life with a daily devotion (for months now) to reclaim myself and re-centre.
This is so powerful, and empowering, to hear Claire. Thank you for giving us this glimmer on the horizon...
There is always hope 💫
I’ve been feeling the same way as of late. I have always loved getting lost in the vastness of the cosmos. This has been so meaningful to read.
