Eric dressed up as an Indian prince for my birthday, with a rudraksha bead necklace and Om tunic from the Indian clothing stores on 2nd ave. hahahaha it was absolutely amazing! I had the most beautiful birthday--wonderful walk across the Williamsburg Bridge with Merry, Keith surprising us with his return from CA, and finally the most magical evening with Eric :D Though the reality of being 26 hasn't yet sunk in and I'm not sure I want it too...I always was a bit put off by the inevitability of birthdays, that everyone gets this celebration in succession, year after year, regardless if earned or deserved. I was always more partial to the aboriginal notion of celebrating someone at crucial moments of learning or realization in their lives. Oh! Rami is coming back from Italy soon--Merry is going to Guatemala for a month--it's amazing how there is no stasis, just this constantly in-flux mixture that is always shifting around you.
I'm going to surprise Eric with surfing lessons this weekend!
