as i approach 50 I think how did this happen...me getting old I mean. I know the alternative is not that appealing... but perhaps a granting of my own personal groundhog day is a worthy wish....it doesn't matter which. I could craft most any day of my life into something spectacular! Is that wisdom? After almost half a century, I've surmised to be suspended in time the best I could ask for? well maybe, perhaps then I could amend all my imperfections... reform all the mistakes I've made and re-emerge a better man... just now it occurs to me...this could be my groundhog moment...the epiphany that the next 50 years brings me living a life well thought... more compassionate, more open, more giving, more alive! ....more likely, just more use of adult diapers...
these thoughts occurred to me in 2012, as I contemplated my impending birth date.
