life. and numbers.

it is neither
short
like a haiku

nor
long
like forever

this is neither
unfortunate
nor
regrettable

but
1 year
365 days
12 months
4 weeks
7 days
24 hours
1440 minutes
86400 seconds

is either
refreshing

or
a real bitch.

(my faves)

I love the simplicity and the yin/yang of this. I was talking to the man in my life this weekend, summing up the past 18 months since we met and since I was diagnosed with infiltrating lobular carcinoma. It seems like years ago and minutes ago. Like all rich experiences.

Happy Thanksgiving.

speaking of those bastard numbers. and not that i care about my age- i just hate the whole concept of and loyalty to time these days and would much prefer simply rising with the sun and sleeping with the night without keeping track of how long or how many times i do it.

on monday november 26th i will be 16,070.6567 days living.

that's 385,695.762 hours (23,141,745.7 minutes).

I loved this, the fullness and completeness of it.
Your words dance and burn with life.
