Julia

Here she is, a few minutes old, born 12/12/11, 6 pounds, 10 ounces, but that's not important.  What is important is that she looks like a little Buddhist monk just waking up from a nine month's meditation, and she arrived, sticking her tongue out at us. I love that!  The girl has a sense of humor. There is nothing like looking into the eyes of a newborn, they are so wise, and we need their wisdom now more than ever. Welcome little Julia! 

THE CHILD ANGEL by Rabindranath Tagore

Let your life come amongst them like a flame of light, my child,

unflickering and pure, and delight them into silence.

They are cruel in their greed and their envy,

their words are like hidden knives thirsting for blood.

Go and stand amidst their scowling hearts, my child,

and let your gentle eyes fall upon them like the

forgiving peace of the evening over the strife of the day.

Let them see your face, my child, and thus know the

meaning of all things, let them love you and love each other.

It's All Temporary
