Would you know my name?

I awoke today with special tears of gratitude washing over me…today is my birthday…in the back of my mind was that tune from Eric Clapton…”Tears in Heaven”…my feeling are such that despite all my transgressions and self sabotage early on in my life…these events were steps on the ladder…”oars” in the rowing to the Divine…I believe the poet Anne Sexton called it “The Awful Rowing Toward God”…I must say that I had my share of ‘awful” moments…but they seem to diminish over time and ultimately gratitude has pointed the way…So do I know my name?  Anado? Jimmy James Strange? Jimpy? Uncle Shieky?  Somewhere in this mass of energy is the nameless…the Anam…the Silence…I feel such gratitude today…I thank my Mother and Father for giving me this life…Only in Silence…the Word…Gracias a La Vida!
