Joyous dancer sings her poem to Heather

For Heather:

This is the part you have waited for.
No mad wild heat
lists to do
children to teach
examples to set.
Just books to read
flowers to grow
friends to welcome
universes to create.
Small moments that previously
escaped your notice
fill you and expand
to create a horizon
that is infinite.
Happy Birthday, Dear Enchantress!
You have made us all dance with joy.

Oh Karen! I am touched. This is precisely what I am adjusting to and it is a joy not to have to be on my best behaviour. Small moments are expanding to fill my universe and it is all quite delicious.

This image expresses how we all feel about being able to celebrate with Heather, Karen - joyous.

Thank you all, darlings! And not just aging, but rediscovering one's creativity is also "the time we have been waiting for," and here we are, all on this lovely road together.
