Another year around the sun today.
44 feels like a crazy number.
Going back to this young kid here in glasses. The yearning for simpler times that this kid experienced keeps me connected on a quest to invite those things into this modern complicated life full of polarity. The great appreciation and melancholy I feel for what I see in the rear view mirror inspires me. Forward motion carries with it everything from the past. Today I’m holding all that good stuff with all the dark and complex stuff and feeling the ping of joy for this thing we call life.
Thank you for your sweet birthday wishes. Lucky me to be surrounded by so many wonderful people. I’m grateful you’re on this planet with me.
