Tomorrow is my birthday.
Mentally, I am preparing to have a wonderful day as I physically work the rest of my hours tonight at my job.
The week has been so busy the only time I get a chance to write these posts are mid-day to evening.
That’s alright.
5:55. Perfect timing.
Everyday, they go by.
The days,
the thoughts;
all fluttering by.
And I’m not getting any younger.
If anything, it’s my mind that regresses in age;
remaining curious and nimble to it all.
That is what the Tao says.
Be like a little child.
And so I sit and watch the clouds float past.
What a day it is.
The sun contemplates setting while the heat remains still.
I imagine my walk home.
I look forward to the day ahead but if I can make this one last just a bit longer…. I would.
As excited as I am for a day spent on me,
something within me shutters at the thought of my age’s last digit moving up the scale.
It is a feeling I must accept.
There’s nothing else to it.
There is no avoiding the change that is destined for us all.
This
is true growth.
I wonder where you are
and what you’re doing on this evening or day.
When is your birthday?
I hope it’s spent well.
I’ll see you on the other side of today 🙏🏼
