Fly free and happy...

“You have no birthday because you have always lived; you were never born, and never will die. You are not the child of the people you call mother and father, but their fellow-adventurer on a bright journey to understand the things that are...
Fly free and happy beyond birthdays and across forever, and we'll meet now and then when we wish, in the midst of the one celebration that never can end.”
    There's No Such Place As Far Away (1978) by Richard Bach 
Do you remember Richard Bach?  JONATHAN LIVINGSTON SEAGULL,  ILLUSIONS, more. 
A man before his time.  I like to think it is easier now to believe that quote above.  Most of us can’t feel the presence of those we lose.  Most of us can hardly even believe that this is an adventure let alone that we are in the midst of a celebration that can never end.
