My petition is earnest, as I have a great appreciation for the brevity and purpose of life. I realize that life’s journey is meaningful by virtue of those whose paths we’ve crossed and with whom we’ve shared our love. For this, I am grateful and yet my gratitude is tinged with grief because of personal losses and great rifts of inequities that persist in negatively affecting the human continuum. I ponder the vitality and quality of life that each of us bears as we occupy a distinct time and place in its playing field.
My existence has prompted me to appreciate the smallest and seemingly insignificant details of our daily awakenings. I preserve my wonder of nature’s wildness and beauty. The splendor of our world is unparalleled, and I hope that every individual opens their eyes to the marvelous and pleasing influences that life contains. I yearn for the occasion in which we are all in agreement with the conservation of our planet.
I wish everyone a multitude of love and miracles. May the wind always be at your back. May smiles, laughter and sunshine brighten and lighten any shadows or storms that pass your way. May you always be surrounded by kindness, gentleness, wisdom and plenty. May all your tears be dried and your spirit be comforted during any passage of sorrow or grief.
As I turn in this evening, I gaze at the stars, and I think of my loved ones who no longer walk here with me. I’m comforted and blessed by the knowledge of their love for me. Their spirits blend in the star-filled night sky and they shine on, in the unreachable distances while my mind travels to the fading memories that we’ve shared.
Life is a glorious ride, and my wish is that every one of you would have the pleasure of walking in the light of love and joyful memories, in every minute of every day.
