I love putting on makeup.
I love taking off makeup.
The rituals, the ablutions.
It’s oddly self soothing.
I groom myself like a cat.
Like a bird in the sand.
Like a hare with its paws.
As a bird tends its plumes.
My war paint.
My potions.
My courage, my self devotion.
Receive without pride, let go without attachment.
"Human lives are brief and trivial. Yesterday a blob of semen; tomorrow embalming fluid, ash."
— Marcus Aurelius, Meditations; book 4
The things you think about determine the quality of your mind. Your soul takes on the color of your thoughts.
