Let us remember

the sacredness

of our unique journeys

and connection

as one family.

Help us to answer

the longings

hidden underneath

the distractions

of a healing world.

Let us be

the healers we are.

Amen

Thank you

for being here —

for all the times

you took the chance

to soften your focus,

let go of pieces

you had held so tenderly,

and dared to believe

in the creative power

of one true heart.

The world is

a more beautiful place

because you are.

— for Michelle and all of us. Happy Birthday, dear friend.
