What is the risk of death (by falling for instance) if it is merely a transition? There are plenty of “edges” in this life that don’t involve death, so why do we need death as a reminder? as it reminds us that there is an end coming does it accomplish anything more than graduation reminds students that school will end one day? As long as we are really enjoying being a student why ever graduate? Is there something more important afterwards that we’ll miss out on if we wait awhile?

Hope you are well in your searches!

Several thoughts…

* Vampires never get to see a sunrise. Especially a CO sunrise.

* I’d wager that some of life’s intensely wonderful moments could (might?) lose that extra ounce of specialness if the being experiencing it was immortal. Part of the joy of living a finite life is knowing that it WILL end and when you pack as many extra-special moments as possible into a finite life it’s cause for joy and celebration.

* Death is the transition from this life to another life. Nothing more. There is a whole other way to live and experience group interactions on the other side. At least that’s what my aunt and cousin (both safely on the other side) have told me in their visits. (true story!)

* Moments are what you make of them. Quality over quantity.

* Would slacklining be as fun if you knew you could not fall and hurt yourself and possibly die?

* I think you need to celebrate the 21st of each month as a group of milestones that make up a year in the Life of Larkin. Just a thought?

Thanks for sharing your birthday ramblings. Hope you found time to partake of cake & ice cream before during or after
