THRICE BORN

THRICE BORN

I have been born three times to earth. My first birth was to youth. Innocent, I was Arthurs Percival. An athlete without a team, a forest child instead of a follower of Christ. A fool, Tarots Fool with my first steps off a cliff.

My second birth was to a life of muscle, sweat and tears. Dedication to the Earth and to a family, doing my best. A pillar of support to my assigned angelic worker. We carried a heavy burden outlasting trouble with love and hard work. We became one. I became cynical, no longer foolish or innocent.

My third birthing is very different, a change in my stars brings less physical labor, and it's a good thing as my strong body just isn't what it was. Maturity brings acceptance to the decline. Living in a garden, studying what I like, when I like. It's a good third season. Helping to caretake an oasis. So thankful. So blessed.
