On the Occasion of Howard’s
56th Birthday
and 10th day of
Vipassana Meditation
Today it is your birthday
the universe envelopes you
with its secrets
Today you retrieve your voice
re-learn how to interact with
others
Today you discover the
disorientation
of managing the internal and
external at once
Today the ravens call in joy
to one another
and the insects swarm in
celebration of your birth
Today you will inhale the
written word with an
insatiable appetite,
gluttonous for text and context
Today you will crave and
struggle like every day
watching the waves of
sensation wash over you
Today you are born in a
timeless place
where all days are one day
and this day is then.
