a birthday poem

what’s the use of looking forward or looking back, when this moment of clarity and focus is full of wonder and blessings? being born is not an event in the usual sense of existence, and we don’t seem to find solace in the constant comings and goings that appear and disappear on this path we have come to call our lives. yet, there are those moments in which we must rest and accept the essence of living in the two worlds. birthdays are like this, we smile and celebrate with those we love and in this sharing learn to love them all the more. Happy Birthday James, may all your days manifest the perfection on life’s unfolding presence.

in this evening, when my being flows helped (?) by wine, I have the courage to post this message...I have inside all the peace and blessing mixed with the sadness of not sharing....at the very bottom of my sorrow there's a light that I'm still shy to face...posting this message is like throwing a message in a bottle in the sea .....
