I think we grow in fits and starts – always - from infant to crone. I guess I did not expect this when I was a child. I assumed at a certain age we just knew it all. I’m sure I have reached whatever this allusive certain age is, yet I know less. My certain and absolute truths have been turned on there head recently and far from being frightened - I like it.
Suddenly the rules don’t apply. What I thought I knew about myself no longer applies. As a friend suggested last night, “The ego has been blown to bits. There is a whole new paradigm afoot.” The most intriguing aspect of this shift is how effortlessly it happened – within a breath, a glance reality alters forever…A new ache is born that can not be denied, an awakening of self. Pandora’s box has been undone.
