Quality Not Quantity

You celebrate the years passed in physical form one after the other.  You light candles and sing songs.  ‘Tis true, there is reason to celebrate life, but not merely life in physical form.  Celebrate existence.  You consider the number of years in form important.  You consider it a tragedy when one no long has birthdays to celebrate.  We see it differently.  Celebrate the quality of the life.  Celebrate the level of love and compassion-sharing achieved.  This is something to sing about … another year wiser, another year more loving.

Quality, not quantity.   This is what matters, for life goes on eternally.  How long you spend in physical form matters not a whit.  How you spend that time in physical form is what it’s all about.
