525,600 minutes, how do you measure a life?

[Queen]

So, I'm an old Rent-Head, the Broadway musical about people living with AIDS, 525,600 minutes is a year.  The musical is about a group of people impacted by AIDS, much as I was in my younger years, endlessly.  I lost many friends to that horrific disease, bottom line... it was an incredibly ****** time, a time that put me in the place to eternally understand this lifestyle.  Life is short, do what you need to do to be free.

That said, beyond all the hurt feelings, beyond anyone's pain, how do you plan to spend your time here?  Trust me folks, it's a limited time, be free, let hurt feelings slide, how will you spend your life?

Measure your life in love.

Time spent with loved ones, especially the many kids I've raised and taught over most of my life, not least the last crop I'm working with now as a solo parent.

Lifetimes experienced inside other cultures, speaking various languages and living in conditions far from what most would call civilization.

Time spent in nature, just feeling being alive, connecting to "God", the One that is All.

And finally, a life spent learning many new challenging technical topic domains, and passing the knowledge along, trying to help others in the process.

I spent time holding the hand of a 28 year old, both of us trying to figure out how this was right... or fair. Together we figured out it isn't. Life just moves along, some of us live on in the memories of our friends or kids, the rest of us just pass along, no harm no foul. It ain't no thing, but I like to think my time here has at least helped a bit. I sure know I've loved more than I ever hoped for.

Hope you all have a beautiful night, I'm heading to bed with my beloved. I am the luckiest woman I know... 525,600 minutes, the vast majority spent just his side of heaven.

I'm a mom. I'm a nurse. I'm kind. I can't change the world, so all I can do is to try to change my little corner of it. Everything else is gravy.
