April 4, 1974
I’m thirty-four today. And I’m so much more than I’ve ever been before. I love so much more than I’ve ever loved before. And the pain, it surfaces when I’m alone, when there’s no one to hide it from. An antenna of emotion I am. Sometimes, filtering music or literature through the channel of my soul, I cannot hide it even when judgment is mere feet away. Perhaps it is my most valuable attribute: Empathy. I didn’t ask to be able to feel this much.
But I do.
“So I walk up on high
And I step to the edge
to see my world below.
And I laugh at myself
while the tears roll down.
'cause it's the world I have known.
Well it's the world I have known.” ~ Collective Soul
Those might not be the exact lyrics but there the ones in my head right now.
Love, James

Dammit, how did this happen? How did I, the birthday fairy miss your birthday?
I'm slippin'.
Happy birthday young man with and old soul and wisdom beyond your years.
love you, mean it,
Lori
Love that song, happy belated birthday, good sir. Hope it was good and if you only knew how your brother from another mother up here in the Midwest could relate to everything you said in your birthday post. . . . .
Well. . . . . .
. . . .you already know I can relate. That's why we are brothahs!
Sincere best, Sir James.
Take care my mang!
Lori. You are just wonderful.
Why I deserve a friend such as you shall remain a mystery unto me.
Mike.
The song, somehow I knew that you loved it, as strange (or not) as it may sound.
Thanks bro.
