Hello 41, shall we dance?

A send off to my 40th year with a deep bow to the women who carried me.

Yesterday was my birthday, I have been on this Earth for 41 whole years and my mind swirls with memories and stories and people and moments that took my breath away and moments that provided me breath.

I feel wise and youthful, tired and inspired and a touch hungover from saké … all at the same time. Most of all, I feel really grateful.
