A belated birthday wish for you -- that you will enjoy the last half of your life even more than the the first half. Age 50 is a milestone too for men, a millstone rather. A two/thirds marker for the statistically average, a sign of progressive loss of youth -- the face that looks back from the mirror is not one many like to see. But considering the alternative -- always the alternative seems far worse than anything in life. Please remember that fifty trips around the sun is not repetitive, but the sun has moved towards its unknown goal, and earth has merely bored a distorted helix into space, and we have epicycled on it, you and I and everyone and toward our separate goals which are restricted to a narrow compass because we are human and bound to the earth. You've married, given birth, learned and sang and loved (not necessarily in that order!). You have so much ahead of you. And because you have already lived 50 years and perhaps made errors, you can make it your "practice life." The next moiety is for real. Make it beautiful. It is fully in your power. Happy birthday.
