DEAR ONE



merrily, merrily
merrily, merrily


I cannot believe how utterly blessed I am… To have you as a friend… To have you witness my life so beautifully just the way you do, like no one else can, truly…

I can have dreams of horses all throughout the day and night and I can show them to you and we can ride them side-by-side down every rocky avenue we wish and quietly beside every stream… Hear the waters trickling… I want to go everywhere and I am taking you with me. I’m taking you all with me…

Of course, you and you… And most certainly you, dork. How could I not?

Can I ask you something – When I remember you and I feel connected to you can you feel it also? Do you ever have a twinge of something that feels warm and thankful at once, that can squirm straight up the corner of your mouth or wriggle all twirly out from your belly somehow in a way that surprises but leaves you shamelessly pleased, surely agiggle?

Yes, blessed indeed.

I can even see the future. There, I said it.

And so can you, we are utterly blessed, so can you.

Children are laughing all over the place in every shape and color and size and with hopes… Real ones. That's the future, man.

The whole world is held together by this one glue; the laughter of children, the stuff of their dreams in which they each have meaningful day jobs in the world doing something heroic and playful all at once, mapping out new worlds for themselves day by day with the only challenge before them to find ever newly inspiring and creative ways to express love and joy and peace and kindness and self-mastery and patience; and to find more and more enjoyable ways to blossom and further the abundance, the essence of which is Love, such that cannot ever be thought or spoken but must be sung, must be giggled out by those whose hearts trust the flight of ever and again being swept away into something more dazzling and enduring than they'd yet conceived of.

I simply cannot believe it, how blessed indeed.
