I am in the last few days
bidding farewell to my long hair.
yes

I have been going through life changing events
like Giving Birth
Motherhood
Creating a home

but this drove me to write
those big ones are so vast
I can't actually put it down in words
don't truly think I grasped it yet..

But small revelations
that I can write

Soo.. my hair
It is as long as its ever been
or surely in the last two decades of my life
and I feel growing the need to go back to short-short

and this realization
brings with it new love
new appreciation
for these spaghetti strings
that hang about with no actual contribution
to all the various tasks at hand..

there is just this need again
to be simple
direct
and bare
honest
inside out
