Such beautiful reflections, JDS. To wonder is to be curious and to seek to understand as the end goal is finite. I so appreciate this reminder from you, and so beautifully written!
Your quest to better understand your parents in the midst of your grief is deeply relatable. I’ve sought to better understand my dad for the last 13 years since he died. But you’re right - leaning into wonder feels like a more freeing way of exploring. Thank you for sharing this 🙏
…that thread between wonder and knowing…i have to think it is thinner than eye can perceive…especially when it comes to ourselves and others whom we know/knew/relate too…wonder is such a good word for that unfillable depth…the world filled with so many of us…but really the world is, and so is the many of us…the so-many-humany of us…is that the journey then, always trying to know, but like the sun we’ll never touch it…and then all the times we are certain in whichever connection, those occassions even more special than they already feel…
