Birthday

On this St. Patty's Day, my birthday, I want to talk about how much i love it here on Earth.  I love the way the sun comes in our windows of our houses.  I love how we spend all of this time and energy creating our huts that we live in.  I love how we plant little seeds in our yards that shoot up into things that we can eat.  I love this clear liquid that flows throughout the Earth--and how we pour it into our bodies.  I love how people post on FB that they are pregnant and then the next thing we know, the newsfeed is sprinkled with photos of these tiny beings blinking at us.  And most of all, i love how precious the time is here because it does not last.
I am mesmerized by how one minute we are here and the next, floating away, a spirit into the light...Spirit Guides and Angels catching us and leading us across to layers upon layers of colors--planes of learning, healing and reunion.
It is my prayer today, on my 46th birthday, that i develop a deeper awareness of the moment that i am in, recognizing that this exact scene will never happen again.  I give thanks for the unforgettable sensations here on Earth of swimming in water like a mermaid, feeling the rubbery softness of big red gerber daisies, sinking my hands into the thick black fur of my dog, and hugging my daughters goodnight and goodbye.  I feel so lucky.  Happy Saint Patrick's Day.
