Wow!Who knew
that
birthdays in China
are forbidden
to pass
quietly, unannounced,
into the next day,
as the passing of certain years
(47 to be precise)
might warrant.
Xie Xie everyone for your
kind words
and
delicious surprises
and melodious
singing voices
in your ancient language.
And for making this
home away from home
a very special place to be.
Blow
One candle, for one world
may we always find common ground
to celebrate our magnificent
humanity
I wish.
Lao Wan Tong
Well then - Happy Birthday greetings from across the world!
