"One Can Be Alive...

...but half-asleep or half-noticing as the years fly, no matter how fully oxygenated the blood and brain or how steadily the heart beats. Fortunately, this is a reversible condition.  One can learn to be alert to the extraordinary and press pause - to memorize moments of the everyday."

Thank you for writing today and for being present the best you know how.

Here's to the radical act of empathy that is reading.

Here's to sharing an apple with the love of your life.

Here's to being a selfless meatsuit of character (even when no one is watching).

Here's to you (and the "you" finding a box in the garage full of your high school journals).

Love and Light,
Beltran
