Love this, and have shared it with my fervently non-binary offspring determined to live without an ID.

Appreciate your willingness to share it Laurel. 🙏
Our identity, ever changing. Yes.
Yes — But I believe it should be an inner, self-directed journey as opposed to being driven by outside controlling influences.
This encompasses all “For in the end, you do not own your identity. You are your identity, ever-changing, ever-flowing, like the eternal Tao itself.”
That seems to be the problem these days. Outside influence instead of inner guidance.
Thank you! 🙌

Okay, yes. But…were you able to buy that alcohol? Leaving us hangin’ there.
And btw, I vote for Hexagram 24 to become our national motto for the next four years.
