Christmas 2011Hope you have a wonderful birthday today! I will miss being with you to celebrate your 28th year. Just think next year you and I will be the same age!
Here's your big virtual Birthday Party...lots of room for all the family and friends to celebrate YOU! Close your eyes and picture everyone at your birthday table.
then,
Blessed be the mind that dreamed the day
The blueprint of your life
Would begin to glow on earth,
Illuminating all the faces and voices
That would arrive to invite
Your soul to growth.
Blessed be those who have loved you
Into becoming who you were meant to be,
Blessed be those who have crossed your life
With dark gifts of hurt and loss
That have helped to school your mind
In the art of disappointment.
On this echoing-day of your birth,
May you open the gift of solitude
In order to receive your soul
Enter the generosity of silence
To hear your hidden heart;
Know the serenity of stillness
To enfolded anew
By the miracle of your being.
