Ani, still my muse 2+ decades in....

Feminism ain't about equality
It's about reprieve
-Ani, Reprieve

I'm listening to all of the Ani while I do low-key, physical tasks that are still work.

The things I loved at 24 and 34 I still love, but the songs that I shied from at those ages now at 44 fit me in ways that I was unable to grasp. I'm grateful for my instinct to just skip over them, not delete them. It's like listening to whole new albums by the woman who has most shaped my feelings into words and notes for over half my life. I will occasionally skip over an extra discordant one, but mostly I'm just letting it settle into my brain, with reassurance, solace, comfort.
