Reflections 5/30/2020: Well, had to say “adios” (“go with God”) to my eyelashes yesterday. Realized my mascara brush was air guitaring nothing as I swept it over the space where my eyelashes used to be! A wasted effort to redeem a piece of the old me. Eyebrows are disappearing like someone is systematically erasing my face. Even my iPhone face recognition feature is no longer acknowledging me as me! The funny thing was, I just laughed and said, “Oh well.” Now THAT surprised me! “Light of grip.” That’s what I’m learning. Not to cling to anything. Palm open and responsive to removal of the very things I thought I couldn’t live without. Still needs to fist up for the fight for life… but gentle of grip on “essentials” that have now become NON-essentials! Is this stripping away neutralizing my identity? Hmmm… somehow doesn’t feel like it. I’m essentially still me. My true identity is tucked away in a safe place with You God. And my worth too. Just the externals are subject to erasure. This “light of grip” way of life is journey of discovery. Traveling “light” can be refreshing!
