Mindfire Times

Today I completed my 34th revolution around the sun. Compared to an infant, I am ancient. Compared to this planet, I am an instant. Let me tell it, I am waaaaaaaaaaaay older than my age, but my spirit is eternally youthful and my soul is infinite. I draw off of those resources and not the physical. The physical is built and destroyed, while you are reborn in the mind. I have celebrated many a birthday that can't be marked on a calender. This is not to take anything from my parents. They were/are gateways nonetheless.
Happy B-day messages starting chiming across my blackberry around 11:45 last night. My Elizabeth High School peoples are definitely on Facebook. Justin Roman (Afteryellowred), Tirzah K. , and Phil Lynch all sent me love yesterday. My mother and big brother called this morning, but when I do sleep it is a minor coma so, no connection. My mother did text me and that was an accomplishment (she's not one to press a button 3 times to produce one letter). Its not only the thought that counts, its being thought of.
I never understood why people lie about their age. That's so disrespectful to your experiences here on Earth. I try to learn and grow daily. Understanding isn't generally instantaneous. It is accompanied by trial and error which are separated by time. For me to pyschologically adjust my years in speech (it can't be changed in reality) would be an unconscious attempt at stunting my maturity. When I truly reflect on my experiences, I feel like I'm too old to lie about important things and not old enough to start falling apart.
At HDS, we're thinkers. We talk sh*t with a lot of thought behind it, beside it and in front of it. If we were immature, our actions could be misdirected and our future could be compromised. Because we acknowledge the reality of ourselves, we conduct ourselves like the adults (not grown ups) that we are. A common quote around here is "Time is God's currency. It is difficult to save, so invest it wisely." -D. G. Wooten II I live by that. Does it make sense to you?
