A Few Lines for Dear Marjorie on her 70th Orbit Around The Sun!

Bina Sarkar Ellias

Within the dew drop of a moment in time we connected, Marj and I, and I felt the ocean of treasures that were within this precious being. Quiet and elegant, she is a presence that could defy all algorithms of noise! Like her poem ‘Pollen’, Marjorie unfurls softly, bearing a fire of exquisite thoughts. I wish you a magnificent birthday and may many, many years of creativity shine on you… and you stay inspired forever.

Warmly, Bina
