Solstice is incarnate in my life this year, for it is my love’s birthday.
We shared last weekend with friends old and new at firefly, coming back home rather later than planned. Today, we showered, ate glorious Italian brunch food, read about consciousness, prepared and ate festive lunch and dinner food, and saw Spring, Summer, Autumn, Winter… and Spring. All day, as in the few days previous, I have watched this light-filled, sparkling being by my side, and have laughed to myself, delighted at the adventure of knowing him.
Happy birthday, Ethan, my longest sunny day. Race you to 29.

Dude, you made me all choked up with being happy for you. E-yay!
Happy birthday, Ethan!
Such an extraordinary life I’ve been granted. I am hale and whole, and on the raidho. All this in no small part due to your presence in my life. Thanks for celebrating with me, Vika.
And thank you both for sharing your wonderful selves with me…You’ve both shown me so much, given me new perspective, opened my eyes to new and amazing things…
In short, spending time with the two of you has truly expanded my mind and improved my life immeasurably.
My Mind, Brain, Body & Soul thank you.
