A mythical traveler once recounted his birthday stories...
40th birthday - full of gusto and himself - a birthday party surrounded by 250 of his closest cronies - a professional baseball game - a rented bar with a live band - later after tequila - the night ended in a 9mm being pulled in a case of mistaken identity
41st birthday - spent the day alone in the cabin in the woods where he was living without electricity or running water - miserably alone after he had hurt the two people closest to him - even his children did not take the time to see him
...
50th birthday - at the same cabin - after a day spent working on the property with his wife and partner in all things, children and their partners and grand children join them for a quiet day together
Choices... commitment...
Learning that sometimes life is defined and enriched more by what we consciously chose to leave out than what we chose to experience and take in...
