Birthday!
Today is my birthday! It is met with smiles, food, presents, and cheer. WHY??!! Somewhere between the moment of my conception and the moment of my birth; I lost the absolute contact with, and knowledge of, The One. Birthdays should not be a time of cheer, but a time of mourning that loss.
At the moment of my death, I shall once again have that contact with, and knowledge of, The One. Even should I go down to the pit, a moment with that absolute knowledge of and contact with The One’s existence and love is worth more than a thousand years on the face of the earth.
