A SPACE FOR REFLECTION
MYBOLDSPACE · PERSONAL REFLECTIONS
Essays and shorter reflections in Dr Dare’s voice, bringing lived experience into conversation with the questions she continues to consider.
As I approach my 65th birthday, I find myself in a season of deep reflection and thanksgiving.
A transition is measured by what changes. The harder test is what can continue without you, and who has been taught to carry it.
My parents did not always teach with lectures. My father often taught with proverbs and songs.
I have always admired the eagle. Perhaps because it represents qualities I have spent much of my life pursuing: vision, courage, perspective, and the willingness to rise above immediate circumstances in order to see what lies beyond the horizon.
These selected lines open a window into the longer reflections. Each card names its source so the reflection can be read in context.
