Para la Niña

"Don't listen to those
who only see with their eyes.
Remember the light when 
you were inside.
Keep it within you throughout your life.
Good morning."


Good morning my child. I say hello to you and greet you with a smile.  Before you open your beautiful eyes, know that everyday the world is new.  You go with me everywhere I go, you are there in the form of wordless thoughts.  You live in the deepest part of me. Where I walk to the far edges of the earth only to find that paradise is not a place but a happening. I am writing to you before you are even born, yet I already see you in different forms. You are a single clear whistle that passes through a birds beak, you are the flutter of a butterfly and the incandescent glowing moment when its wings catch the sun.  You are the mystery in the river - a spirit so still at its surface but in its depths, true energy is circulating.  You are the stoic wisdom of the trees, and the grace in her branches when the wind plays his song.  I write to you in this way because one day you'll know that you were once beyond flesh, bone, and desire. You are a thought that moves my spirit.  Some say in your first months you were blind. Don't listen to those who only see with their eyes. Remember the light when you were inside. Keep it within you throughout your life. Good morning.
