I had a relatively peaceful birthday with a scattering of visits and calls (because the college is in exams just now) and lots of mails. Assorted goodies were also brought in and some of it was happily shared with those who came in to wish me.<\/p>\n
Quite a bit was safely kept in the fridge and is gradually being consumed and shared delightfully!<\/p>\n
Some birthday reflections as through lights and shadows I am guided along the corridor years of my living.<\/p>\n

The corridor continues slow<\/p>\n
each passing year unrolls anew<\/p>\n
each footstep taken firmly treads<\/p>\n
the dreams and hopes of promise made<\/p>\n
and kept through gifts that life bestows<\/p>\n
Backlit lustre grow-up\u00a0 times<\/p>\n
Rough and smooth through glowing gains<\/p>\n
Swift run and falter tumble ways<\/p>\n
All part of courses living makes<\/p>\n
old lights I leave new brights ahead<\/p>\n
through placid distance flower spread<\/p>\n
expanse unrushed slow gentle wave<\/p>\n
soft colour dance in morning breeze<\/p>\n
I saunter on assuredly<\/p>\n
more grace beyond the mists for me.<\/p>\n

There is always that \u2013 the \u201cmore\u201d grace beyond the mists.<\/p>\n
There is grace before and within the mists as well… but even more awaits beyond.<\/p>\n
So I can walk on light-footedly bright-heartily with faith and hope!<\/p>\n
Wishing all this and more for you.<\/p>\n
Take care. Love, Terry<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
