But Happy New turn of the planet around the sun! May this orbit dance you healthily and luckily around your spiritual core as our home travels around the core of our world! I hope that when another cycle has gone, we find ourselves here again, only better! Love, -Mrrzy |

Your last reminds me of the kid seeing a dinosaur in the museum and asking the gallery warder how old it is. "4 million and two years years and 5 months old." "How do you know its age so exactly?" "Well, when I started here, it was 4 million years old and I've worked here two years and and 5 months." |
