they might have told us when we were young: self-ownership is a kind of leadership where you do not expect of yourself to master the world around you but rather, it is an allowing of mistakes. they might have said not to get so hung up on the successes or failures of a moment, they should have said to allow yourself to try, and not expect to get it right first time, allow yourself even perhaps, to give up on things that are no longer meant for you, or were never truly yours to begin with. they might have let us know that the path to wholeness involves asking no one but yourself for permission, and wearing all regrets like a meadow wears the morning mist and afterwards the dew. they really should have told us. but they did not know themselves. because no one told them. and now, no one else is coming. © Rocco Jarman, October 2021 Photo: Ivan Kuznetsov
