- Today's my happy birthday. 64. I can't tell you how many people
immediately say something referring to that Beetle's song. It's okay. They
were right. I'm still feeding and fed, loved and loving, Son Kelly asked
me how it felt to be getting this age. The way I see it, we're always some
age and always something always changing and the key is to accept whatever
we happen to be at the moment and make the most of it. So far I've enjoyed
every age in this seemingly connected succession of nows, but maybe more
so now. Suzuki Roshi said once that the reason we practice is so that we
can enjoy our old age (He'd say "the reason" but maybe "a reason" would
have been more accurate.) I can see a glimmer of the wisdom in that. More
to go. Thanks for the birthday astrology reading Howie. - dc See more on this - what Suzuki said. |
