Today would have been my Dad's birthday! He would have been 74 years old. He never wanted to get older. He somehow knew that he would never make it to "old age". Funny! I no longer see the 70's as being that old.
I was reminded yesterday of how thin this veil of life is. It is like we live in a soapy bubble and our world is with rainbow colors that swirl in it's surface. We are trying to make sense of what we see, but it is all gone so soon. We are racing toward a destination without getting anywhere. While trapped in our little sphere, we drift in the random breezes more or less along with everyone else, yet kept apart at the same time. The most profound moments of our life occur when we become aware of this isolation and accept it.
