Humiliation. That word encapsulates the last few years of my life. Just when I think I've learned all the lessons I need to be an expert, something else comes along, something just a shade more humiliating. I didn't realize humiliation came in so many colors, but it does, a veritable Pantone panorama. Things become almost unbearably embarrassing, one shame builds on the last shame, a tower with a deep foundation. If it fell, I'd be buried under the rubble of 51 years of staggering embarrassments. We have to make a choice to step away from humiliation. We have to choose to step forward and embrace humility. Humility, humiliation, and human share a common Latin root, humus, ground, earth. Make of that what you will.
