i thank You God for this most amazing

Three of my favourite people. Yet only one has a birthday today.

i thank You God for most this amazing
day:for the leaping greenly spirits of trees
and a blue true dream of sky; and for everything
which is natural which is infinite which is yes

(i who have died am alive again today,
and this is the sun's birthday; this is the birth
day of life and of love and wings: and of the gay
great happening illimitably earth)

how should tasting touching hearing seeing
breathing any--lifted from the no
of all nothing--human merely being
doubt unimaginable You?

(now the ears of my ears awake and
now the eyes of my eyes are opened)

To Julian on your birthday.

For you this picture, a funny remembrance of Jerash with two friends, a moment captured right after I said, "Do something funny!". The ever-vogueing Christine makes me howl each time I think of her special moments. Renee has a heart of gold.

And you birthday lad-still as handsome as the day we met. Still as funny, as wise. You are the stars, the sand on the beach, the air under a birds wings. You are the Universe.

Love always & a happiest of birthdays to you-

Gillian xo
