Celebrate

Celebrate each year, each month, each second.

Each moment is a like a pebble washed ashore

From a vast ocean of flowing possibility

And the morning tide will gratefully bring more.



The richest heart is the one filled with experience

Invisible gifts we can only see with our inner eyes

Kept in a hope chest willed us by our ancestors

A treasure that is buried but found by the wise.



So learn to live your life wrapped in brilliant sunlight

And embrace gently the memories that remain

Like a single leaf dancing with a delicate wind

Like an angel skipping carelessly through the rain.
