birthdays & birthrights

Birth - the act or process of bearing or bringing forth. It is a beginning - a portal to our human journey. Is life measured by benchmarks throughout our lives or is it meant to unfold as we live and breathe? 

Mahala & I a decade ago

As Abraham Lincoln is said to have said - in the end it's not the years in life that count, it's the life in our years that do.

Mahala celebrated her birthday yesterday. We refer to it as my labor [of love] day as well.

It is the start of a four year "high" that culminates on marking another special decade. 

This is incredible!

As solar systems are aligning in the Universe, our planets are aligning with our sun, so too are her life years and numbers lining up - 1, 2, 3, 11.

The microcosm within, the macrocosm outside. The internal manifests externally.
