Meaning

Here’s another quote (there are many of these on my desktop….and I need to let some go…I can find them later if needed).

“Behind the patchwork quilt of school sequences and the school obsession with facts and theories, the age-old human search for meaning lies well concealed.” —Author?

I think this one was from a book about improving the school system. It might come back to me. This quote could apply to other settings though. Many of us find ourselves in sequences: get up, brush teeth, go to work, etc. It’s easy (and honestly rather nice) to be so busy that we never think of meaning.

If there’s one complaint that I hear the most from people who come to therapy, but haven’t had a recent trauma (child’s death, house fire, serious health diagnosis)…it’s: I’m so busy. Or it’s just so busy. I’ve got so much to do.

And I say that one too.

I can feel this big empty space since I finished the EMT program. That was on my wish list since 2017.

There are other things I could want to do. I just don’t want to jump into the same hole…of being so busy…this constant activity leaves little room for loved ones and their hopes and dreams. Or just playing UNO together.

It’s a real Me Show when we’re always busy.

Love,
