Born Today?
A reading for your birthday. Taurus season.
I fell away from you, my God, and I went astray, too far astray from you, the support of my youth, and I became to myself a land of want.
Augustine of Hippo, Confessions
The things you do without thinking anymore are not always the things you chose to keep doing. Some of them began as solutions to problems that no longer exist, and now they run themselves while you live around them. You wake up and reach for the phone, you say yes when you mean maybe, you take the long way home because you always have, you check the same websites in the same order though they stopped telling you anything months ago. The year ahead is the one that asks you to notice which of your automatic actions still serve you and which ones you serve. Not everything that feels like habit deserves to stay habit. Some of what runs in the background is ready to be turned off, and the space it leaves behind will remember how to be space again.
