The Dream She Kept Putting Aside
A past-life reading by Lludy Ono exploring a love of calligraphy, caring for a mother, and room for a life of one’s own.
A young woman had loved calligraphy since childhood and hoped to teach it. During university, however, she suddenly felt she could not become a teacher. She abandoned the goal and stopped writing altogether, experiencing the change almost as though the choice had been taken away from her.
After graduation, she remained at home. Her mother was glad to have her close. When her mother later became seriously ill, the daughter became her main caregiver while her retired father worked part-time.
Years passed. Her mother needed extensive care, and the daughter began asking a question she could no longer set aside: was this how the rest of her life would unfold?
