With eyes closed I listened, anxiously trying to capture every vocal nuance, every octave in every laugh, the sound of glasses clinking in celebration, the smell of champagne bubbles. * Store this in your memory and return to it for comfort * The warmth in the room made my heart swell and, realizing how thick the air was with intimacy, I felt out of body. Dim lights, the trappings of well wishes and birthday gifts were strung about the room. And each glowing, familiar face represented a beautiful heart to which I was connected. In one evening I felt - actually sensed deep within my body - the meaning of the word blessed. I reveled in my good fortune and wore gratitude like a scarf about my neck. And carried it with me throughout the next day, determined to hold on to it long into my upcoming journey.
