An educator suffers a fall and has to learn how to stop bearing the load for a while. Well written and poignent. "I am searching for myself in the absence of responsibility and worth to others. I am slowly learning what it means to be a burro without a burden to bear and perhaps this unloading requires the most strength, love, and care of all." Do we still value ourselves when we're not helping others? How? Great questions.
