Happy Hippie Birthday

Welcome Friends
Today is the day for [Me] we all like to call our birthday, the day we entered this strange place however many moons ago that was, we wonder/wander around acting out as though we have an idea what is going on. You know by following the clock, the calender or what ever the measure of time be that most of us have to adhere to, to attain money, a paycheck; I worked xxx number of hours!
Let us look at that word hour it is Middle English from Anglo Norman French "ure", via Latin from Greek hora, season, hour. Is it not strange that when we look at the main part of the word which is "our" very little of the hours are ours! When we look at "ours" and its origin it comes from Old English "ure" of Germanic origin; related to us and German "unser". As we peer even deeper into the word "unser" it is used in this way "{unser}ious or lighthearted" or {unser} viceable, not in working order!! But We all know that an hour in the mind of getting paid is neither lighthearted nor {unser}viceable! I have always been able to tell with fair accuracy what time of the day it is, no alarm clock, no wristwatch, no "big ben" pocket watch like my beloved "Frank" my WWI veteran cousin who I always called "Uncle Frank" who when asked what time it was he would reach into the watchpocket of his green union suit, set a stern eye at "big ben" and state." Well by my time it's noon but by them crazy bastards it is 1:00! Frank never believed in changing his timepiece for daylight savings time. So as he said "By MY TIME it's noon! We should all just try MIND {OUR} own time and to hell with everybodys elses time and timepieces. Today is MY DAY MY TIME MY LIFE. "Carpe Diem"

As I continue on my quest at 58 years or approx 21,170 days, 1764 months old I leave you all with these immortal words of Longfellow:

"What is time?--The shadow on the dial, the striking of the clock, the running of the sand, day and night, summer and winter, months, years centuries-- these are the arbitrary and outward signs-- the measure of time, not time itself. Time is the life of the soul."

Longfellow
