Commemorative plaque

Change happens at a glacial pace. But speed has nothing to do with hope. And hope is an unfamiliar feeling to me.

A little under 12 months ago I took a wildcard chance, and I now have to opportunity to relive the past 25 years all over again… and do everything wrong, since I got it right the first time around. As I’ve said once before, if I want to fix my life, I need to ruin it first.

To me dreams are just goals I haven’t worked on achieving yet, or I have accepted as unattainable. So now that I have achieved everything I intended to, the list is empty. Maybe that part of me that never believed in dreams has, finally, died. It’s time to renegotiate my future and prepare a new list, one that may be a little more ephemeral than the previous.

Jump headfirst into the deepest waters. In the beginning it’s hard to stay afloat but then I learn to calm down; to tame the panic; to swim – until I eventually reach the other shore. Then the water is no longer scary to me.

For the 26th time.

The crescent moon is barely a sliver in the sky right now. That low light isn't absence. It's the beginning of a full lunar cycle, and there's something almost settling about being at the very start.

When you see the dead things cut from your life and how beautiful your Garden can be, you will be happy. Trust the Master Gardner. He knows what He’s doing. He’s been turning graves into gardens for a long time.

Starting over is not failure.
It is wisdom

You are allowed to outgrow old versions of yourself.

You are allowed to rebuild differently this time.

Slow growth still counts.
Quiet healing still matters.
