On Wed I celebrated my birthday and got blasted with love and appreciation from so many people who I admire and adore. I had been in tears more than once, realizing deep down to my core how profoundly grateful I am for this gift of being. I'm so grateful for all the beautiful faces that fill the world and cross my path.

At lunch my girlfriend offered a toast to Arlene Bollt who was the vessel through which I entered this world. Realizing how grateful I am to her... realizing that she is no longer here had me in tears embracing this opportunity to be alive. So happy to feel grief and joy as two sides of one coin. The more I open my heart the more I feel both of those things in perfect symmetry.

The world and all its treasures never look so beautiful to me as they do when their preciousness is underlined by just how temporary all of this truly is.

Thanks Mom... I miss you.
I love you.
