Dear Divine Human Me

Thank you. I am so profoundly grateful for your existence. You support me, inspire me, trust and guide me. I am truly blessed.

Thanks for being you, in all the fantastic, fabulous, beautiful ways that you show up. Even when I cannot see you, your presence lights up my heart. Your presence takes my breath away.  

When I’m weepy, you give me a shoulder to lean on and arms to comfort. When I am joyful, you celebrate with me. 

We don’t always see eye-to-eye. Your storms threaten and sometimes scare me. But then you remind me to breathe and embrace the uncertainty of the storm. When I let go, I am rewarded with rainbows, blue skies, and fluffy billowy clouds that change with the wind. 

You send dear madam dragonfly, who swoops in to inform us that changes are on the horizon—glorious, awe-inspiring changes. Don’t be frightened, you say. Sit here with me, and together, we’ll watch as the beauty of the illusion plays out.

As poets proclaimed, life itself may be an illusion, but the beauty is real and everlasting. 

With you by my side every minute of every day, I am more acutely aware of the blessings in each tiny moment, breath, and heartbeat.

Not just the blessings of the sun, stars, and moon, not just the blessings of friends, lovers, and life companions, not just the blessings of the dandelion and the rose. But the blessings of life herself, bold and unpredictable, challenging and amazing blessings. Tis the blessing of the blessings.

So, thank you, from the bottom of this very grateful and bottomless heart. I love you; you are the breath beneath my wings.

I could fly higher than an eagle
For you are the wind beneath my wings
