Happy Birthday

She would have been sixty one. ( on earth), 
 If she had stayed just six more months. 

In flight, from Melbourne to
Sydney, (her birthday flight)
reflected in the clouds,
decending  sky, ascending earth,
purple tree delight,  
koala, dolphins, birdsong, sand in 
toes, pen in hand. 

Present. Alive. 

My birthday gift to her, to me, 
by her request.

  1. What a great present -- to her and to you. You are both blessed by being in each other's lives.

    With love and admiration for your connections and feeling all that is.

  2. Joy and sorrow..what a time these two have housed as they are in one body. ( with thanks to Mary Oliver). And to you...thanks for the comments..I really value you taking the time to engage in this way!
