this was such a nice post.
'I do not hang my reflection in any mirror, but I run my hands through my hair and laugh and feel ancient and holy and beautiful, dusty with whispered secrets and a brand new power in the so[u]l[e]s of my feet.'

i have to applaud you for being content; you are maybe one of two or three (four or five at a very unlikely maximum) to actually be happy on this round of new friends' entries.

oh, i'm very happy to hear that. that's such a nice change, really it is.

i'd love to be able to see inside your heart, just to understand all the things you do!

I am rarely content. That's a horrible thing to own up to, but at least it means that I can recognise how important these pockets of happiness are when they arrive.

[melaverdebella]

it's not a horrible thing to own up to - you're honest. that's what counts.

i suppose i should correct myself and say i applaud you for being able to recognize and appreciate being content :/
