When I was younger, a century seemed like a big thing.
Events of the past (like WW2) seemed far away.
As I grow older, the perspective changes; entire eras suddenly seem almost ephemeral, and, when looking back, it seems astonishing how much history can fit in a single lifetime.

The family reunion [for my adoptive family] is this weekend. The last time I attended a reunion was probably in 2007. I got married in 2008. I never had a spouse or boyfriend or friend to attend with me. Cousins within my age bracket rarely ever attended & if they did, they either hid away reading a book or were very much better than I at small talk, connecting with distant relatives they probably won't see again till next year. My grandmother was alive & I attended most of the reunions with her. I wanted to. Reunions were typically held at a state park where I could go on brief walks, hikes, play with a camera without making others [or me] feel weird. Late last year, I learned I have biological half-siblings... I'm not going to the a-family reunion this year, though it's been years... it somehow seems so wrong that I would be attending yet another family reunion without my siblings.

Explore yourself, do not colonize yourself. You are not a project to complete or a problem to be solved. You are a unique and beautiful experience. Your thoughts and feelings are places to visit and savor. Not to attack and subjugate. Take joy in being you with unconditional positive regard.

These are three modern buildings located in #collingwood #Australia.
The significance of these for me is that each incorporates the new architectural designs to the old; pre-existing structures that stood prior (or to those that stand in close proximity).
The contrast is often visually effective.
It’s a great metaphor for life, too. And can be applied to anything #newandold particularly people, and our various generations within our communities.
We can coexist in harmony… and even complement each other to make this a better world.
