43 Quotes

“Was it all put into words, or did both understand that they had the same thing at heart and in their minds, so that there was no need to speak of it aloud, and better not to speak of it?”
― Fyodor Dostoyevsky, Crime and Punishment

“I sometimes have the feeling that her entire life was merely a continuation of her mother's, much as the course of a ball on the billiard table is merely the continuation of the player's arm movement.”
― Milan Kundera, The Unbearable Lightness of Being

“No solo las personas esperan, sino también espera todo su entorno, todo ese ecosistema que deja la presencia. Lo que se resume en la acción de estar, el verbo que nos hace humanos; la cualidad de ser presente.”
― Luis Alberto González Arenas, Verte Regresar: los 43+ [Coming Home: A Story of the Missing 43]

“43

Age is a number, that’s no excuse I see

let’s get at terms with 43

Age is sure, strong & surprisingly it flees

Wee three, in teens, 23,33 and heading ahead in the series

Today I stumble on 43,

It’s truly a nice day to travel back in Time Machine

Dream, dream and just dream….

Saying hello to younger me

Living all the lovely birthdays so far, rare as silver birch tree

As age grows, sensibility too increase

Celebrations change but deep in heart, wishes swirl magical and free

A thing relatable to smaller me

I am sure you too would agree”

“43

Age is a number, that’s no excuse I see

let’s get at terms with 43

It’s truly a nice day to travel back in Time Machine

The little child will always stay sound and on spree

Let’s get this thing right and as a highlighted key

Mindset shift relives the yester & present glory

Don’t run after something ephemeral and brief

Time’s fleeting to spend in vain and worry

43, & more - count will grow, no doubtedly

Mindfulness, happiness, integrity will make it all glee

Finally what’s the last line of this poetry?

Well! 43’s no big deal, chill & merry

Happy birthday to me!!!”
