I am a few days late but I figured I would write some short thoughts everyday for lent.
Today.
I wanted a few moments to reflect on losses/changes for the year... And it reminded me of this book called "The Inheritance of Loss" by Kiran Desai sitting on my bookshelf. I remember wanting to read it because the title was so captivating and relative to some of the thoughts I've had about DNA having memory. What it means when loss is not just yours but that of a generation ahead and the one before that and then maybe another? What it means to have a legacy of loss/dysfunction in your family history? These are things I have thought about in trying to assess what exactly my purpose could be and if I was fulfilling it or some other law of sidereal design.
It was also on the NY Times Bestseller in 2009. So I am thinking I will attempt a reading in the next couple days.
40 days and 40 nights...
