The Reveling Herbalist

I have grown weary of being a "rebel."

I'm tired of paddling so hard against the stream.

I'm tired of seeing the world around me as a place to push against.

I'm tired of being disappointed, provoked, enraged.

I'm tired of trying to change the world.

I'm going to change myself instead.

For now, I'm the Reveling Herbalist.

Like the hugely abundant bumbles rolling in the intoxication of nectar and pollen, I'll be focusing on exuberance and merriment.

I've pulled up anchor. Put the oars in the hold. I'm floating on the currents and drinking in the beauty.

May the currents bring sweetness and healing.
