And so I have graciously turned 30 years old.
I began counting my blessings with sarcastic satisfaction of a pagan goddess/witch/samba dancer and decided to write a love letter to my evil twin sister before the lunar eclipse that was to accompany my birthday's celebrations. I wanted to meditate naked under a waterfall reliveing my last days of childhood, but instead was interrupted by phonecalls from Spain and Turkey reminding me that I (and my evil twin sister) are both very much loved. Since life begins at 30 I felt overwhelmed by the prospect of giving myself another chance. I dreamed of stealing the peaches of immortality from a dragon guarding the entrance to the kitchen of the Chinese restaurant near Santa Maria Maggiore. I want to relieve the PRESENT feeling of being blessed and 30!
As if suddenly good karma has come back... Basking in friendship and love. Thankful to live in Rome where boys at the bar where I get my coffee everydays since 3 years give me flowers (would that have happened in the starbucks to which you go everyday???) Maybe happy to be in Rome and not traveling in foreign lands, happy to be able to be with those whom I love. And thankful, immensely thankful to have so many good people in my life..
Yes, this one is a big blessing. Thank you for making me a moon child!
And here are some pictures from the celebration with/of people I love:
