Our bodies have changed.
Softer, rounder, smoother, and wiser.
Our skins have weathered too.
Freckled, thinner, and beautifully etched.
Our hearts are deeper and broken open.
From abundant joys, scarring losses, the greatest bonds, and everything in between.
Cancer, gun violence, miscarriages, childbirth, graduations, hellos, goodbyes, ruptures and repairs, new jobs and old ones.
Our minds wider and more quieted.
Each heartbreak a hurricane sprinkling drops of humility.
Humbled.
Our creations metamorphosed through the years.
They have grown and they grow us up.
Our dreams no longer rest on the lap of accomplishment.
They consist of intentionally authoring love actions.
So much has changed.
And yet the choice I make every morning,
To walk at your side,
Through this abundant and wild ride,
Remains the same.
Vamos
