Birthday Wishes- for Sula

You will be ten--ten years
ten times a celebration
at Advent, darkest time of the year
and you, a star shining
before the brightening horizon

Your delightful birthday wish list?

fancy velvet dress
a new phone
a big fake diamond
a laptop
squishy animals
a watch
fancy LED lights
YouTube on my phone
ice skates
Doug the Pug calendar

My birthday wish for you

standing on the threshold of womanhood?

Awakening to the ancient memory
wisdom of blood and breath
You, Divine Feminine.
