May you and those you love
share health peace
and inner gratitude
magnified a thousand times
by the brevity of this day.
May you discover
the ultimate power
of the unknown
the way it amends
our most careful intent
with an illuminating intervention.
May you feel truly
in your soul’s core
a native born
citizen of the Universe,
with all rights and benefits
guaranteed,
and capitalize on them
every chance you get.
May your loved ones
here, gone, and coming,
with all their being,
nourish you this day,
living clearly
in the orbit of your love.
–Hugh J. Malanaphy
