innocence, power and perspective

I would much rather be me now, 

43, 

married with two children, 

then that 20 something year old who felt the world so hard and so deep.

I rarely miss being young and unencumbered. 

But I do miss the wild passion and the endless thoughts that swarmed my 

head.

I wrote two short quotes, way back then, that have stuck with me,

have stayed with me and are still me.

~ Be open to unthinkable wonders

~ The Spirit runs silently on

Although these have meant different things to me over the last 20 something years

they have continue to inspire me and make know that I am okay,

that I have a lot that is worthy inside of me and that celebrating that

is what makes me a better Human, better Mom, Friend, Wife, Alien (in case I ever get to travel out there in that magic).....

Somedays we just need to celebrate parts of ourselves, 

mostly because we don't want to 

but

really, truly 

need to.
