As you turn a year older
i wish you better peace
more self-love
abundant serenity - seen and unseen
even though the tempest
may yield no respite
even though the boat sails
in angry hungry thirsty waters
may you find unexpected oars in things
and
places
and
humans
and
moments
and more than just survive
may you thrive and prosper in things unseen and seen.
things felt
Happy Birthday!
