Who we are is always changing and one never knows where our paths may be.
~Stephanie
Stephanie, This one sentence has been rattling around in my head all morning, and it means so much to me. It helps me to realize how much I want to be able to understand myself, and thereby be able to "know" who I am. But that would be an illusion, to "know" who I am. It can only fit into that box one time, and then I'm shifting again. The shifting and changing is not just the exploration that would stop on the day I got it figured out (not going to happen). It is the way I'm created, a ceaseless, restless, creative force that is finding it's expression in my experience. And that expression is always changing, even for those who have set their sail permanently in one direction. Whether we're trans, cis, or other, we are free when we can die to ourselves every day and approach the next day with curiosity and open eyes.
This, then, is my journey and mission. To stop trying to "pin" me down, to open to the expression of my feminine or masculine - or both - in the moment of now. Learn to be OK with that fact that "one never knows where our paths may be."
Lorie.....your words remind me of some time I spent in Loas with the Buddist Monks.......thank you for reviving my memory of them. The path to enlightenment has many twists and turns. In the 60's that statement was often uttered by hippies......"Go with the flow...man!"

Very well said. I feel like we lose ourselves on this constant demand to know exactly who we are at all times. But my personal growth happens all the time. Who I am today may not be who I was yesterday or even tomorrow.....
