Wished a very enterprising friend
On his birthday today
Umpteen solar cycles wise
He has weathered
the storms of life
And yet through it all is a joy to connect

I paused a moment
when I read his reply
beyond the thank-you.
In his words…

“My days are long and boring, but at this stage of my life, boring is a desired quality.
May life give you what you desire the most at every stage of your life”.

His words touched my heart

It speaks much of a spirit
wanting to do much more
A recognition of boredom,
Is the desire to unravel life
some more.

Boredom creates a space
Between the steps
In realization and acknowledgement
Of the preciousness of time

And that is in itself, valuable
For it is allowing you to tap
into potential possibilities.
And discover something more,
awaiting your creativity
on the other side of boredom.
In finding the good in boredom
Life isn’t so boring after all!

I thank my friend for his kind blesses &
I wish my dear friend
a fascinating birthday
that lights up his day
and brings joy to his heart.

Savvy
