Milestone:

I suppose it’s a milestone birthday, turning 60 is indeed a celebration of life and I’m happy to have reached this point in time. It has not, as many of you can imagine or may know for yourselves, been an easy journey to arrive here. This is also a milestone of loss and growing concerns, with so many loved ones no longer present to join a celebration, once cherished relationships now over, and growing concerns over finances.

no milestone is ever easy.

and that’s exactly the reason we celebrate, we’ve arrived, and honestly, I mean that completely — I am here, alive, joyfully so, only because of others. We’ve arrived here, at this particular milestone, together. I would not be here without you, any single one of you, all of you — we are collective ideas in the mind of God, intimately joined beyond compare.

we’re life.

and at every point a milestone of celebration.

thank you, thank you,

thank you.

I love you all.

~

Eric
