Birthday Presence What is in a missive of personal intent to someone you don’t truly know? This, a one-sided relationship of awe. The same can be said for a birthday wish, one would imagine – a sentiment sent out into the universe where invisible eyes might peruse the pleasure of the fact that you were born one hundred thirty two years ago this day. You came into my sphere of mind and thought a few years ago, following a gentle word from man that somehow my words seemed like yours. “Remarkable,” I reflected. I line up our similarities ~ I don’t know all of our distinct differences; ~ we share a birth month ~ the same sign ~ ethnicity ~ sensitivities ~ a pondering mood ~ a propensity to have our soul’s words see into some distant future to be read, to be known, to be felt, again. Yours, have. Happy Birthday, Rainer. 12-4-1875 – 12-29-1926 |

I thought you were talking about Santa Claus ... almost. The main similarity therein are your continual gifts. Thank God you don't just favor us with them once a year! Poet, said my Muse to me, look in thy heart and write. |

Wonderful, my friend. My grand daughter, Ryleigh, and I share a recent birthday...yesterday matter of fact,and a week before that, my new grandson was born...I so hoped he'd share Ryleigh and I's, and, bless his heart...he tried - at least he joined us as Sagittarians...so we're gonna have a heck of a time together!! jwesley |

Remarkable indeed, dear Karilea! A wonderful compliment to cherish. ... I think you closed your eyes and got in touch with him and the inspiration poured down abundantly ... Beautiful! Love, Margherita |

Once again Sun, he stirs our thoughts and weaves our words...and another year passes. |
