there are images of mine that are deeply a part of the fabric of my being... when i see them again all these years later i feel exactly the same way as if i were seeing them again for the very first time..
and yet while i continually change over time with maturity and life experience, there are fundamentals as to who i am that are as solid as can be from the beginning... values, heart, commitment, loyalty..deep sense of humanity and decency......... knowing we have been and are one people.. despite the classifications we all have failed under since the beginning of time...
i am deeply grateful for this life of ours... despite the significant highs and lows we all tumble through both together and on our individual paths..... it's still truly a gift.
