I Celebrate You

Today I celebrate you.
Each and every one of you.
You are so very important, so precious, so beautiful.
I feel all of you, because you are part of me, just as I am part of you.
The story of your life is as precious as the air you breathe.
It is the story of the human experience.
Some of your stories send tears of joy streaming down my face.
Some of your stories convey immense suffering.
And there are countless stories between these two extremes.
These stories, these experiences, are important, but they do not define you. Today you are the salt, and tomorrow you will be the sage, for your soul wears many faces.
Do not be bound by the labels that have been placed on you since birth.
Boy, girl, Syrian, American, black, white, smart, slow... these are all just temporary roles you play.
Zoom out.
Expand your consciousness.
See all that you are.
If you can do that, then you can see yourself reflected back when you look into the heart of any other being.
You came here for the experience.
Over and over again, you came back. Each time wearing different skin, a different name, a different mission, new lessons to learn.
And each time, countless other souls came with you, agreeing to share this experience with you, to help you. Sometimes that help looked like the love of a mother, and sometimes that help took on the role of a thief.
The complexity and simplicity of your existence is beautifully intricate.
Open your heart to the full awareness of all that is.
Celebrate humanity with me.
I love all of you.
Thank you for your participation in life.
