New ways of seeing

Entering a new phase...

Older on the outside; still feeling youthful on the in'

Perhaps a little wiser; certainly quite foolish yet

Stronger than ever; more fragile than before

Much remains unchanged; so much not the same at all 

Always moving forward; sometimes looking back.

It's an opportunity. A turning point. 

And I wish to explore what I might take with me and what I want to leave behind. To understand my place in the world now that I sometimes don't recognise where I am, and how I fit. To find a way to be comfortable in the skin I'm living in today, with all its many flaws. To reconcile myself, but not to settle for less, for this. And to play, in a new format.

I know some aspects of myself, and this path I'm on, all too well already. But I've enlisted some guidance for the next leg. To help keep me on track. To provide some focus, so that I don't wander off and unravel entirely.

I don't know if it's a good idea. But not knowing exactly what you'll find en route is part of any rewarding journey, isn't it?
