How can we, in this country, undervalue our children in the way we do? I believe it is any logical parent's deeply intuitive knowledge that indeed, it takes a "village" to raise a child. Susan, do you remember when Hillary Clinton used that quote? It always stuck in my mind since then. As a single parent, alone in Brooklyn, NY (I was raised a 'small town' girl)<br />I was often aware of the loneliness I felt trying to raise my children. My deep involvement with my community remedied just that feeling. But when I met others, I realized how many others, even single people with no children, were feeling the exact same way. I feel it takes a "village to raise a human being", any age. triadaTriada Samarashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17001185908791742250noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3493688943227237448.post-71681127985966438932009-09-20T11:49:34.064-07:002009-09-20T11:49:34.064-07:00Your story brought tears to my eyes.

That sort of thing happens often at residency, which is perhaps why it is such an amazing experience.<br /><br />Thank you for sharing. :)<br />LauraLaura Berlagehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17077457055752990679noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3493688943227237448.post-45459135207404499792009-09-15T13:29:35.580-07:002009-09-15T13:29:35.580-07:00Hi Susan,
I love your story and your experience...Hi Susan,<br /><br /> I love your story and your experience of pauses are wonderful. I do believe that pauses are where all the good stuff or gifts are given to us. I have had glimpses. It is not always easy to pause, so being that the calling is there for you and your listening is great. I admire you for your awareness. Pause and stillness for me are one in the same quality of movement if you will. I do think there is an amazing amount of movement when we pause or are in stillness. For some that could translate to our breath. <br /> I am responsing to your wonderful comment from the point of view from my training in mask work. I would like to say dance too but the stillness in the training to be an actor that works with masks comes froming inner listening and stillness. This can certainly be translated to life and the human condition as well. Listening and patients is what we as a country seem to be lacking, and I wonder if all the stimulation, media, technology, and information at our finger tips takes away from the pauses in life. As Fran said, technology is double edged, as is life. I always come back to the dance between dulality. I am beginning to think that the stillness or pause just might be the key. <br />I am going to be aware of pauses.
