Mother Earth – Alive and Well

The month of May joyfully reminds us of the rebirth of nature. In acknowledgment, we celebrate Mother's Day - honoring our birth mothers, and ultimately our spiritual mothers.

In Transition: Mid Lives Crisis

By Chris LaFontaine Leave a Comment

I'm wondering what goes through the mind of a caterpillar as it turns to mush in the chrysalis. No longer a caterpillar, not yet a butterfly. I don't mean to overwork a cliché, but the metaphor is apt as I sit on the cusp of my 61st year and my second life this time around. From the outside my days appear to continue as before, but on the inside I have surely entered a state even I don't recognize.

I remember working part time during college, before and after classes, along with other students. Some of them were ambitious. Some were not. One day I overheard our supervisor make a comment about me. Said I was a clown, or something to that effect. He might as well have smacked me upside the head.

My first thought when preparing to write this column was to offer my congratulations to Tim Miejan and Cathy Jacobsen on their purchase of this publication. I have known The Edge almost since it began early in the '90s, and I believe it has outlived almost every other free paper on Twin Cities newsstands.
