Love this honest post, Erin, and the ponder-pause-praise, especially hearing Ruth Forman speak her beautiful poem. "As if" reminds me of something author Phillip Pullman once said, “I think we should act as if. I think we should read books, and tell children stories, and take them to the theatre, and learn poems, and play music, as if it would make a difference…We should act as if the universe were listening to us and responding. We should act as if life were going to win.” xo -- Shelly

Yes. Yes. Yes. This is perfect, Shelly. I absolutely want to live in this world of as ifs.
