The shapes are always changing. Changing is their normal state, like us. Even if we're not changing on the outside, we're changing on the inside - constantly. 
There's some stuff about me that I've been ignoring for a long time. I'm afraid of that stuff, but it's part of who I am. As long as I know the shape of my soul, I'll be all right.

"All that you touch
You Change.
All that you Change
Changes You.
The only lasting truth is
Change.
God is Change." - Octavia E. Butler, Parable of the Sower

I've been working on a logo for my emerging adventures - retreats, coaching, and massage therapy. So. Many. Iterations. I have settled on my "mark," I think, and it will be superimposed over different images for different applications. Here is the current.

The photo is one I took from atop El Picacho in Teotitlan del Valle, Oaxaca, Mexico.

Here is a small bit of my new tattoo. I had never thought I'd have work on my hands, but here we are, and I love it. If you're unfamiliar, https://godischange.org/god-is-change/

The Book of the Living, verse 15: Power Struggles
All struggles
Are essentially
power struggles.
Who will rule,
Who will lead,
Who will define,
refine,
confine,
design,
Who will dominate.
All struggles
Are essentially power struggles,
And most are no more intellectual
than two rams
knocking their heads together.

I’m a little embarrassed I haven’t read it before, but maybe it found me right when I needed it
