R. Leib's Blog: Dream State - Posts Tagged "birthday"

It is my birthday tomorrow. I am reticent to tell you how old I am, but suffice to say that I feel old. It is becoming increasingly more difficult to accept that, at best, less than half of the stories rumbling around in my head will be written before I'm gone. I guess I am feeling my mortality this evening. I always knew I would die, but the idea was a nebulous one until a few years ago. Then it struck me how many paths I had started that would go no further in my lifetime. The older I get, the more I feel like a snail racing against a clock that might as well be calendar. Oh well. Back to writing. Cake will have to wait for tomorrow.
