Dear Joyce,

I too feel grateful each day for the ability to step on stable ground knowing that at any time my reality could change. Part of my reality did change a few weeks ago when my school told me I was no longer employed there. Fortunately, it was a break in my reality that was expected- a good break too. However, on a different view, I saw a mother and her child today crossing across a car-crowded street, and I was thinking how someone said just this morning that grandchildren are what makes having children worth it. But I also worry that my own grandchildren are more than likely to live within a reality that will be vastly different from mine. The world is growing so fast, the Earth is changing so fast, realities are changing fast too. But the planet is large enough and Pennsylvania is buffered enough that we will probably walk on stable ground for at least enough time from now for me to meet my grandchildren. Then, at that time (if not sooner), my reality could really change.
