My niece asked me at the birthday party- about

Me not drinking- wondering about it?

I said – “It’s not a good fit”

I use it to cope emotionally

With what’s difficult or hard – like

Navigating a social situation

Which is especially hard on Projectors ( my Human Design type)

We passionately want to be of help ( sometimes to our own detriment)

So claiming my unique assets and being conscious of my limitations

Knowing this- I made fire for the land and me

And snapped this gift from the photo gods

So delightful to see- my shadow self

Effortlessly and sweetly too

Holding the Stone of Being.

No effort- what a great metaphor.
