Birthday(s)

Some parties take you high, some deep...

What is the major reason to celebrate birthdays?

 

a) to count the years

b) to get presents

c) to exchange all the kisses

d) to say “Oh, shit, again...”

 

Whatever drives you crazy about birthdays is OK.

Maybe calculating if you are already entitled to receive a birthday card from Royal Family, or you still have to wait a little...

Maybe just some pleasant expectations, who will remember, how...?

 

Most frequent thought lingering through birthday celebrations is “Time is really passing...”. As time simply is, more adequate thought would be “”Look at my journey through time...”. And birthday anniversary is as good a day as any to try to find where (when) in the maze of time we are.

If you get occasional feelings you are 33 years, 25 years, 14 years, 98 years old – all at once, it's not necessarily a sign you have to change your personal shrink.

Our minds and souls are jumping through the time as a young kitten playing with a favorite toy.

Our memories are taking as back, our dreams are taking as towards the future, everyday tasks keep us anchored in the present...

 

Maybe it would be a good idea to enjoy and celebrate (silently, inside of our souls) each and every day. True, not everything touching us is worth celebrating, but many things are.
A kind of refocusing of our inner sight, away from unpleasant garbage dumps, shallow people; towards pleasant valleys, a mountain high, clear streams and peaceful lakes... could help.
