My Birthday


This is a photograph of me

when I was young and beautiful...

I was twenty nine.

Today is my birthday...

I'm fifty six years old...

I didn't think I'd live this long.

"YOU" as well as "I" are eternally young and beautiful....Our bodies....not so much. Thanks for choosing to be alive this long. It takes courage, and a sense of "cosmic humour" not to take this aging thing personal! Hey, you'll always be a younger man to me baby! Linda

One of my favourite songs talks about "live my days instead of counting my years." I don't see it as an either/or proposition though.

I'm 58. In two years, I'll be 60. I belong to the don't-trust-anyone-over-30. So will 60 mean that I'm doubly untrustworthy or does it mean I've gone full cycle and am trustworthy again. (Rambling thoughts on a dark night.)

Oberon, you're cool. That's all, really. You're cool.
