Today is Richard’s Birthday
Entering this day
through the womb
of his memory
is painful
as all births are
I draw my first breath
and another
and another
the day is manifestly
beautiful
as every day is
were I to always
treasure breathing
on my own.
The day unfolded sweetly from the first thing in the morning poem above; with loving support from family and friends near and far. I am held and loved and swaddled in kindness. Gratitude for what is, nourishes and comforts me. I am truly blessed in both my sorrow and my community.

Kindness to you, to all of us, today and always. Had the pleasure of connecting with your good friend Phyllis at a poetry reading on Sunday. We even got to dance together. She showed me a wonderful photo of you with her grandson in the crook of your arm with light shining in on both of you. “Richard” light, may he always shine, Love, Elaine
