--Thinking about change and growth

Growing older used to scare the hell out of me,
a lot of hearing about:

The must find someone
or
The need to find someone
for this existence.

Must have a plan, called to?
or
Find purpose (like it's lost),
to exist.

I often felt a very inadequate
cold and lonely presence

I am ever so thankful that those days are behind me--

The real deal is so matter-of-fact:

As Billie Holiday says:

"Ain't nobody's business if I do
Nobody's business
Ain't nobody's business
Nobody's business if I do…"

As Billy Idol says:

"Well there's nothing to lose
And there's nothing to prove
I'll be dancing with myself…"

"True Self--who you are in God and who God is in you--and to live a generous life from that Infinite Source." --Fr. Richard Rohr
