today, december 12, is my birthday. i turned 24 at 9 am-ish this
morning. on this day, in four years into the future, the Mayans
predict the earth will cease existence. in march of 2000 (dbl check)
as i wrapped my beloved '82 Monte around a telephone pole, a meteor
just barely grazed the upper most layer of the atmosphere, nearly
terminating all life on earth, and earth itself. now, today, as the
moon rises, it will be the largest full moon of the whole year. all
for me. pretty spectacular, no?
i always thought the car accident wouldnt have mattered if that meteor
hit the earth, cause suddenly, all that would have mattered was that i
survived the crash, and the love and support my family and 2 best
friends provided. sitting here today, having survived x number more
potentially fatal car accidents, and im sure more near devastating
terrestrial events, i cant say they have all crossed points in tyme,
and happened to wreck havoc at the same moments in tyme-if that makes
any sense whatsoever. but, as i sit here and think about what has
happened, and the moon as it grows to its fullest on MY day of birth,
it reminds me that myself, and the moon, are made of the same
elements. just like myself and that meteor. this makes me appreciate
and remind me of my connection with nature. makes me wonder if my
presence in this life on this earth is something of great value. ha. i
believe by thinking this i am only doing myself a favour and so
desperately hoping that my existence may actually mean something and
that my thought of me being nothing more than a stepping stone, a
trail marker for others to pass rather than actually having some sort
of reason for being here.
