I have nothing much more on my mind today than my son, Alex's birthday.

As soon as I write this, of course, my mind streams Alex-related thoughts. I guess that's the way that works. For me.

And, if you get caught up in it, you end up in weird, seemingly unrelated places. That just happened to me.

I started thinking about happiness (because I am happy, and get happier thinking about my son), and that led to the decision to be happy, which ended up in thinking of the things I perceive that make me happy, which led to my thinking about the illusion of the perceived world.

Which led to a brief headache.

It pleases me to think that, although I may not have been able to 'give' Alex a better life than mine (as if it were mine to give), in so many ways, I believe you are a good man, a compassionate soul, and I appreciate and am grateful for that, for you, and celebrate your life.

Happy birthday, Alex.
