This is for whoever gifted me with a lifetime subscription as well as for everyone who has so generously gifted others.
Sometimes, when you least expect it
something happens
that warms the heart
a look, a gesture,
a gift freely given
that says I see you:
you are not forgotten,
you matter, you are valued,
I'm glad you're here
and I want you to stay
Sometimes, this happens
just in time, a needed breath
on cooling embers, re-igniting
creative passions, restoring
fading connections, reminding me
that there is more yet, for me to do,
more yet, for me to give and receive
in sacred exchange with this world
and with All My Relations, so for this
I thank you, Benefactor, I thank you!
