confettied

its october, my favourite month. i can smell halloween in the air-- a marker of a new year, and a time for quiet reflection and hard work.



before we left town i sold all my special spiritual aids and literature-- my entire collection of rare tarot cards, too.

I sold them to people I trust and respect and whom I felt would be loving with these items that were so dear to me.

When we ridded ourselves of all our material possessions (barring a handful of extremely important things) I felt renewed. It was truly a freeing experience. I had nothing. It reminded me how crucial it is to feel that way, how good it felt to not be owned by my belongings.

I'm feeling more and more hopeful as the days pass. Not as angry.

Calmer.

Perched.
