21,550 isn’t all that a big number. . .
Until, until it is.
If a person were allowed to live for 21,550 days, 3.078 weeks would have been ventured; 707 months survived, 15 leap years endured…
1,861,904,152 seconds

517,195 hours
1,539 fortnights

60.81 lunar years
2.27 generations

…Countless Moments. . . .
As much as we are not a Label, we are not a distinct moment.
We are so very, very much more and much, much more to become.
What. . .which day isn’t a Birth Day…which day isn’t one we haven’t expired to be birthed again…in another, new way?
I’ve decided to become, without another fortnight or galactic, nanosecond to pass,
A PERSON OF NO AGE.
Ten thousand flowers in spring, the moon in autumn,
a cool breeze in summer, snow in winter.
If your mind isn’t clouded by unnecessary things,
this is the best season of your life.
–Wu Men (Hui-k’ai)
I’m inspired and awed by so much and better–so very, very MANY.
Pause…as I have a few moments before writing these few facts/figures and thoughts from Sherry Ruth Anderson’s story about harp lessons (in this google link below)

How about it? Are you up for becoming a Person of No Age?
Join me…let’s be TIMELESS…and oh yeah…Happy Birth
Day.
