Fuji x70 / Like a shadow, our reflections can be SOUL beautiful…
I recently had to take headshots because I started a new job and it was so odd for me. When I was HOT, I adopted the “they pay me not to sing” approach. As an arts administrator, though creative and an artist myself, that role in particular was behind-the-scenes/camera of my 'professional’ life. I think a lot of that had to do with continued self-work, addressing trauma, and allowing room for healing to unfold as it does - in its own time.
I still don’t always share in instances where I should that I have written and published books. And when I have in the past, I turn the page quickly unless there’s real interest.
I’ve written creatively, professionally, freelance, and on my own- a lot. I can’t remember it all but I know how it has made me feel. Such as one of the best lines that I have ever written:
I’m at ease with my unease, until I am not.
As time has passed, things shift and here we are, where we are, as we are - growing more and more, feeling at peace with the reflection of who we be, how we be, where we be, as it be - in this one long moment.
And sometimes peace is just seeing and allowing the reflection, not always clear, not always clean, but that’s okay too bc it just means we’ve more opportunity for growth.
Much Mahalo for the Journey 🙏
