In Turkish – everything will be beautiful – I am not in alignment with the universe right now – trying to dot too many i’s and cross too many t’s to go away for a month. Things are taking sharp turns, people are coming out of the elements to shout at me, scold me, I’m recoiling and roiling and waiting to make a clean exit.
When I’m gone, I’m going to take a deep breath, I’m going to float on my back in the Adriatic, I’m going to enter the world of fiction many times over and live other people’s lives, I’m going contemplate at some point my own life and make a five year plan. I haven’t done that in a while because I’ve been in reaction mode.
But I proceed with the awareness that everything will be beautiful and that sustains me in these moments.
