'I was born with eyes that can never close...'

To our Daughters:
'Your body is woven
from the light of heaven
Are you aware
that its purity and swiftness
is the envy of angels
and its courage
keeps even devils away'
Rumi
From all Mothers:
'I can hear the sizzle of newborn stars, and know anything of meaning, of the fierce magic emerging here. I am witness to flexible eternity,
the evolving past, and I know we will live forever, as dust or breath
in the face of stars, in the shifting pattern of winds.'
