A Birthday Note

Today isn’t a tally mark but a threshold. You have a way of letting the days breathe-of placing kindness where the world would rush. If daisies have a grammar, it’s this: face the light, keep the center warm, be simple without being small.

I hope the year ahead meets you with rooms that fit your laughter, weather that gives you its honest sky, and work that feels like purpose and not performance. And if the path bends, may you be tender with yourself. The heart keeps time in quieter measures than the calendar; it knows when to arrive.

“The Soul should always stand ajar.” — Emily Dickinson

“Let your life lightly dance on the edges of Time like dew on the tip of a leaf.” — Rabindranath Tagore, Gitanjali (1912)
