13 Years

In the Mayan cosmology, 13 years represents the evolution of consciousness back into light. Last year I vowed to live again. And in the last year, I have lived large. Oh, and I have loved with abandon. My life and my consciousness have, indeed, evolved back into the light. I choose life, and I choose to have it more abundantly.

Rebecka lives tonight.

Salud.

I love you Mom! And I honor you tonight. My words are not grand, and I make no sweeping gestures. Just a night cooking dinner with a friend, and a little more wine than was prudent. But I remember you, and I honor you with a life fully lived. I have learned to love again, and to linger in the moments that precede the first kiss and the last.

I feel you are with me tonight. Yet I miss you. I love you Mom. May God bless you and may all your dreams come true. I know mine will. Amen.
