Birthday cards are interesting. Recently, someone sent me the following: “Birthday Greetings! You know what they say about old age: It's all in your mind... (and legs, arms, neck, arches, back, shoulder...)." It is easy to appreciate the humor (and reality) of the card. But your birthday is more than that; even more than a milestone. It is a road marker pointing to new experiences, reminding you that the future,is not-yet but can-be. It suggests the un-mapped road promises life un-lived, un-marred, just waiting for your touch. Birthday is a “new year" that holds within its muted grasp all sorts of gifts yet unknown. There will be days of darkness as well as brightness; days of sorrow together with joy; days of tears mingled with laughter. But each emotion and experience is needed to weave the tapestry of life so it will stand out in bold-relief, declaring the love and life are real."
