My wish for you is to claim witness to your own beauty
To continue to see yourself well beyond the filter of humanity
To nourish the subtle energy that flows through you
That sustains you, that transports you, that loves you
That is you

My wish is that you continue to offer yourself unfettered love
That you honor your practices of self care
The reverent practices of self sustenance
The practices that are kind
And may you splash that kindness outward

My wish for you is that you take your long spine out into your world
That you continue to stand proudly root to crown in your gracefully aging body
Releasing the petulant kinks that inhibit pranic flow
That you ground like the pines deeply and securely
Never toppling despite the threatening storm
Being a balanced inspiration for she who is untethered

My wish for you is that you continue to honor your unique power
By gently bestowing it outward
Pouring it into the inevitable pockets of weakness you will encounter
Continuing to be the steady unwavering beauty-drenched soul you are
These are my wishes for you today
And for the rest of your days
