MAKE THE MAGIC
24 October 2007

Dare to wheel through azure skies,
your wings sun-blessed, in joyous flight;
let your emancipated spirit embrace
all God’s creations
now, and know

in every choice are
sacred implications.  Wrap your

soul in light, and cushion
egg-shell truths that grow and sing the
velvet
eyes of God, who
nurtures in you,
the good,
even as your
every
nanosecond is born.

Thanks so much, Karen!  I sorta do celebrate every nanosecond, except if I am not!  (I have Irish blood, so I am allowed to say something like that!   )

Thanks for the birthday wishes for Dylan.  I will pass them on - giggles, but did you see his birthday was on 24 October?

I, on the other hand, don't like rhyme, unless it serves my purpose.
