Winter Wandering
My walkabout around Sunset Park today included listening to Carolyn Elliot and Laila Bernhardt talk about being weird church ladies. I was laughing out loud and smiling at people.
Some people smiled back!
It’s mid-December and the sky is blue.
The sidewalk holds hints of weirdness immortalized in concrete.
I will be going back to New England tomorrow, and back to the city in a few of weeks.
Right now it’s time to turn inward, decide/ be guided to what’s next. This week leading up to solstice and my birthday feels liminal. The week after solstice/birthday into the new year feels like swimming through an underwater cave before being reborn to the other side.
I’m ready for the change to change.
I feel like the equation for my birthday is: ([- 365x + change] > birthday < [change + 365x])(growth + light/shadow + mystery) = manifestation
