Anandharay's Thank You Note
slipping people into their purpose
You are changing my daughter’s life.
midwifing the moment in her choice where she swerves into wholeness
Of course you know.
cavorting with miracles and dancing a bridge between “want-to” and “can-do”
you are the current of water-refreshment-destruction,
like encouragement, rushing over the spirit design of others,
nudging them, lifting them, cleansing, toppling, nourishing;
Rearranging inner landscapes with the power of your flow,
lending odd and interesting spirit-joy-muscle-body detritus to the
collage of their self chatter, and cambre.
You infuse *glitter*gold*shiny*sparks* quietly among her hopes, enlivening any movement
she makes, any at all,
beautifying even the bumbles, and stumbles, of swirling into her life.
thank you
