Feeling "Rebelish"

I understand "Rebelish" is not a word, but I just made it one because of how I'm feeling right now.
For some reason I have this sudden urge to do crazy things.
1. I want to get my nose repeirced cause I miss having that look.
2. I want to grow out my hair SUPER LONG cause I miss it that much!
3. I want to get a whole bunch of ear piercings just because they look cool.
4. I want to get a white tattoo. I want to get a white one because its less obnoxious and it might not stay permanent for the rest of your life. And on top of that, it turns up the best on fair toned skin. So thats a win win situation for me!

This isn't the first time this has happened to me, last time I got this sudden urge I went to go get my nose pierced. It was very liberating, and I want to do it again.

To my Aunt Mimi

Out in the mountains, high on a summit ridge or deep in a cathedral of conifers, I often wondered about the significance of the human creation, the church.  It didn’t seem to me to take a building, or even a dogma, to make someone a believer; all you had to do was open your eyes, your ears, your heart.  In the mountains, the “church” is all around you.
          And gradually, over the years, my faith has deepened and broadened.  You cannot travel the world and experience new customs and religions, as I have been privileged to do, without eventually concluding that there is no single, “true” path to God.  There are as many paths as there are searchers for the way, and part of the essence of being a spiritual being lies in treating other travelers on that road as you would have them treat you – with an open mind and a compassionate heart.  These days, all I know is that the more I explore the world and its faiths, the less anxious and the more humble I become.”
