I haven’t written a blog in a long time. I seem to think
that something magical or amazing has to happen to be worth
reading. So instead of combing my days
for that, I’ve been busy preparing to teach a graduate course for the first time
in 19 years.
When I found the following in a journal entry from April, I realized
that I've already given myself the blessing I need today.
May you find the joy that is yours today,
wear it easily,
claim it often,
hold it gently,
share it readily.
May you see the tendrils of the past as
kindling for the flames of
your heart’s desires,
so that the ghosts of longing
do not haunt
but serve as guides to what you
desire and so richly deserve
today.
