Born Today?
A reading for your birthday. Aries season.
That man is richest whose pleasures are cheapest.
Henry David Thoreau
Your Year of the Signal Fire. This is the year you stop treating your own intensity as something to apologize for and start reading it the way a good navigator reads wind, as useful data, as the thing that tells you where to go next. A project you have been quietly tending since last spring suddenly has legs and a schedule. Someone notices the structure you built when you weren't calling it a structure, and they want in. By winter, what started as a stubborn personal experiment has become something others depend on, which suits you more than you expected. The small pleasures of a thing built well turn out to be better than the big pleasures of a thing borrowed. You already knew this. Now the year agrees with you out loud.
