The Beard

I have shaved my beard and I am keeping it that way.

While most of you may cheer, I want to give my heartfelt thanks to everyone who supported my wiry bush while I had it. It is a beardist world out there, so I appreciate the love.
Why the sudden change of heart? it was very sudden. The thought crossed my mind one morning during yoga (I know, I was supposed to be concentrating on the posture, but bear with me) that I didn't want my beard, and the more I pondered the thought the more it spoke to me. A beard is like a big insulating blanket wrapped around your face at all times. Its wrapped around your face! the part of your body that is probably most important for human communication and self expression. How our energy flows through our body is essential to our health and happiness, and I was giving it a road block in the most crucial area. Two days after the initial thought I got a buzz.
  By Shaving I hoped to make my self more centered, more intentional, freer, looser, younger, more carefree, and lighter. I have felt most of those things, and I think I will shave something like once a month.
