At yoga today
Lori said, live each day like you are dying
I found myself in tears
hot salt running down my face
as my partner was helping me to stretch
and maybe that is the point
I need to stretch and grow
finally beginning to glimpse what Rick Page
so simply said
"Be happy"
finding myself looking at an angel drawing
a first grader did for me months ago
with big green letters: BE HAPPY
Tonight, my great nieces and great nephew
hunting ghost crabs
under the gorgeous gaze of the Milky Way glow
Noah, a bold three year old
holding a flashlight
excited to see a ghost crab the size of a half penny
My eyes, just catching that quick movement
his excitement at finding something on his own
he holds my hand
his striped shorts wet from warm waters lapping at his short legs
the four of us head back to the ocean cottage
Julianna, his oldest sister lifts him over a chair
his proud cry" I am just a little man"
and he is so much more than even me
innocent, kind and above all
living each moment
with breathless anticipation and joy
we reach together to touch the milky way sky
his warm hand in mine
and for a moment I feel love flow through us
I am grateful and feel a pang of joy
It will be a good two weeks rediscovering
self and others
