I have always loved having a birthday in the fat belly of summer. Here is a short random poem I wrote this morning from me to you and yours:
PHOENIX’S ADVICE
When love calls you by all of your names it’s impossible to resist.
Turns out, the bonfire burning in your front yard is there for reason. Throw everything in it.
The slow ecstasy of dying is alive with endless possibilities.
You will find treasures in the dangest places. Look everywhere.
The effervescent oceanic beauty of the night sky knows you, us, and them.
Don’t forget that the dreams you inherited don’t forget you. Say yes already and stalk them back.
The elephants, dolphins, and honey bees inside your heart are love languages worth studying.
Today is the perfect day to celebrate a phoenix birthday. Always feel the kaleidoscope.
