Moment by Moment

Birthdays are one of those things – what do you look at?  Because in the celebration itself, the message is that - forty, fifty, sixty, whatever years are finished.  It's about mortality.  That’s the celebration.  That’s how many candles you blow out, each one of those candle represents a year of your life, and what you’re saying is - it’s over.  But, what is it?  Is it about mortality, or is it about looking forward? 

That there is more.  You will never understand it in terms of birthdays if you don’t understand it in terms of every single day, and you will not understand it in terms of every single day if you indeed don’t understand every single moment.  Because that’s how it is.

A moment just went by.  You didn’t get a candle to blow out.  And it means exactly more than all the years.  Because they all came as this moment.  And what about the next moment?  Will you prepare yourself for the next moment?  Will you be alive for the next moment?  Will you accept that next moment?  Will you?
