Happy Birthday!

The quality of mercy is not strain'd,

It droppeth as the gentle rain from heaven
Upon the place beneath: it is twice blest;
It blesseth him that gives and him that takes:
'Tis mightiest in the mightiest: it becomes
The throned monarch better than his crown;
- Portia, The Merchant of Venice

And dear Angela, the forgiveness of which we are all capable is companion to mercy. Mercy allows us to relent when we would strike, and relenting feel the power within... Mercy for others, mercy for everyone, mercy for ourselves.

On this, your day, turn thoughts away from the Plato and Lincoln, Cleopatra and Hitler. Today is for your godspark - the same force which has drawn me to you is the warming energy of love and hope - common to al, perhaps - unique to your soul, indeed.

Happy birthday my friend!

Sometimes I'm really deep in my life lessons, but tonight I will say that the best way to find true happiness is to cook a really great bolognase pasta. Seriously. The stars and planets must align, because whenever I get that right, the world is in harmony. Right up untill I actually eat the pasta, and in which case the stars and planets threaten to crash into each other....
