Birthdays

In everyday there is a birthday, there is reflection.

Some have come to a day of passage and growth. Some view it as the cutting of legal strings, propelling them into "adulthood." Others see blossoming into youth, while the opposite see it as another reminder to how Old they are. And the rest probably see the nearness of the end of life and the coming of death.

So much dictates how you view this one single event. There might be people who don't recognize Birthdays it at all, but the fact remains: your Birthday is the day a woman's pregnancy came to an end and you drew your very first glorious breath in this world outside of her womb. And maybe, even if this moment was a fraction of a second long, this woman inhales in awe to the Miracle that has occurred in a world so blind to these overlooked Marvels.
