well … it is #FilterFreeFriday so …
the last picture i took was the last filter free friday of this decade. by next week i will be forty years old.
i hear i am supposed to avoid this. i hear i am supposed to have some gained awareness and a change in mindset to live for my self and stop trying to please others.
i have heard these rumors from other people who have turned forty before me. and the truth is … i can’t imagine changing much. i feel like i was born as i am. and i feel like i will die this way too.
bucking the system. questioning everything. demanding progress. focused on compassion and care. crying over caterpillars that get hurt by wasps. mourning the butterfly that was never meant to be. that is me. feeling things intensely. seeing so many world views.
still, to this day, insisting that my time of worship is in the streets as i walk alone, not in a pew surrounded by likeminded people.
endlessly seeking to be even a fraction as majestic as the divinity all around me.
