Tomorrow is my birthday. It seems i don't have my own words for this past year yet. In lieu of my own diatribe i share a quote i stumbled upon just yesterday that left me in my own deafening thoughts. i had to set it aside for a time when i can sit with it and move on from it. Until then, it is here for me.
"Last night I wept. I wept because the process by which i have become a woman was painful. I wept because I was a no longer a child with a child's blind faith... I wept because I could not believe anymore and I love to believe. I can still love passionately without believing. i wept because I have lost my pain and am not yet accustomed to its absence."
- From A Journal of Love: The Unexpurgated Diary (1931 - 1932) of Anais Nin

Excellent, excellent quote. Incredibly true. Thanks for sharing it.
Happy Bday, too! Hope it helps in kicking off this new beginning in "new" light. (any reason to highlight fresh starts, yes?)
:)
Thank you to _c_ and Veda and all those who sent their wishes back-channel. Every one of you is appreciated!
