“A birthday, according to Zen master & teacher Thich Nhat Hanh, is really a “continuation day.” Because you weren’t nowhere, you never really began. You were in your mother & father. You were inside their parents. You were in everything they all ate, saw, & thought. Our birthday is actually another step in a long line of events. We continue. Happy continuation day!” I want to make a birthday card for all my beloveds with your words Shira Erlichman!
such a beautiful and rich and GENEROUS meditation, my love. thank you thank you thank you. grabbing more than a few of these quoteables and placing them in my medicine bag.
“on the other side of all of our assumptions, habits, predilections, & judgements is unassuming blue water.” ! all that and more thank you! happy continuation!
