“there is a minute in the day, a minute for everyone, though most everyone is too distracted to notice its arrival. a minute of gifts coming from the world like birthday presents. a minute given to every day that seems to create a golden bubble available to everyone.”
-luis alberto urrea

today, on my birthday, i am grateful for that minute coming my way, each and every day.
