Day 1 - Asha Dornfest

Today is my birthday,

My own personal New Year’s Day.

If I squint, I see something up ahead

Beckoning.

I feel a breeze at my back.

Pebbles in my shoes

Slow me down.

I hear music, or are those voices,

Floating through open windows.

I walk past doorways.

I care less about where I’m going

Than where my foot falls next.

Gah!!! Reading this was like a mini guided meditation. I was right there with you, as you, feeling everything. What a beautiful way to slow down and take in the world. Thank you for that. And happy birthday!!! Love you, Asha.
