I’m not sure how it happened, or how it continues to happen, but I give constant thanks to all that has happened. I give constant thanks to every one it has happened to and to every one who has made it happen, if only by holding the right door open at the right time for the right person, or by returning the phone to its hook after the right number of rings, or by opening an umbrella in the right doorway in the right light — I thank them all, thank them for everything they have done or refrained from doing, all of which has had, still has, and good graces willing, will continue to have, but one effect: I give constant thanks to the world for opening a space that allows me to be with you, face to face, alight in your shining sun.
But you are not a gift from the world to me. You and I, we do this. The world may have provided the opportunity, but you and I, we do this. We continually create, produce, inspire our opening in the world. We say we live in a bubble, but it’s not a bubble: it’s an opening onto the possible, and across this opening, I see you. You are what’s possible.
You are my world. You are infinite. You are love.
Happy birthday, love.

Happy Birthday, Dawn!
Happy B-Day chickie.
Oh and nice uncle! No posting regarding his only Niece’s 4th Bday on Saturday….Happy Birthday Princess Shannon - Love Dad.
Hey man, you’ve got full power to write posts on Fluid Imagination. It’s not my fault you didn’t think your only daughter — your firstborn, no less — was deserving of a post all her own.
I was too busy prepping and having her birthday parties this weekend. And since you blew them off completely and didn’t even call her to wish her a happy B-day, I thought this was the least you could do…
only at fluid imagination can a beautifully heartfelt post turn into a sibling rivalry… - now shawn… - give kyle back his oreo cookies and both of you hug each other and apologize…
dawn… - make sure that this happens… - and… - have the bestest birthday ever!!!
I have to believe that i had a small part in bringing you two together.
I did give birth to her. Natural may I add. Some genius thought at the time natural was the way to go. My advise is GET THE SHOT!
But boy was she worth it. I am so glad that she is happy and has found her love.
But, my heart sure misses her. To hell with letting go of your children so they can find a place in this world. I miss my baby.
Dawn’s mom.
