That's awesome, Joel! It resonated deeply - the ridiculousness of some of our "mundane but essential" tasks and the reminder of the parallel ridiculousness of our own expectations of what's "beneath us". Thank you.
Your words resonated deep within me. There are many lessons learned raising children - in fact countless lessons.
The thought the rose up for me was the reality in my life that my greatest pain leads me to the pain in the world. I began to discover my pain though the disordered desires of my heart for recognition and respect. The driving force brought me to the realization of my loneliness and pain of rejection. It was through the delusion of desiring recognition and respect (as you state greatness) that I came to face my pain that lead me to walk with those who are marginalized.

It's so damn hard for me to appropriate this lesson, even now. Thank you for making it so concrete.
Gracias Joel!
