     Full Moon at 41

    On a birthday when the days are short
    And the sun is elsewhere giving warmth
    I wondered what might best be done
    To wish you light for 41

    So I asked the silence for its help
    Some guidance as I wish you well

    How Gracious of Life
    To schedule this light
    And allow me to share it
    On the threshold tonight
    While so many pine for the past like worn pages
    Your new decade starts with the lamp of all ages

    This day was a new moon the year we would meet
    The dark had some wonderful secrets to keep
    Maybe this year is lit for the path we now see
    But which spirals ahead into new mysteries:

        To encourage the faith that has led to this mark
        To comfort our hearts in the winter and dark
        To remind us that beauty and grace remain timeless
        And created by Love, for a culture that’s frightened

            Of getting too old to be scared anymore
            Of missing the mark of the suburban norm
            Of painting their picture outside of the lines
            Of loving themselves well enough to be kind
            Of losing the comforts that keep them afraid
            Of trusting the mystery by which they were made
            Of growing old thanking each birthday for life
            Of thanking the light for its glory at night

    Happy 41st birthday, Janie, in this dawn of 2001
    May you grow in wisdom and love with the softness of the earth herself.

    I love you
