On my birthday, today, a joyous occasion connecting with family and friends, I found myself crying, almost uncontrollably, and wrote this…

Purifying Tears

Weep, with pity, first for yourself
& suffering others & our world

For all the loss & waste
& missed opportunities

For the steady passage of time
and our revealed frailties

Sob for your great good fortune
and pray to be worthy of it.
