What's it like to turn 50 on May  14th, 2013? Only a percentage of 9 million can tell you from personal experience.
For you cybergeeks, how many of the 9 million with the 5-14 birthday are likely turning 50 in 2013?  Is there a website that would do that math for me?

I get excited thinking that Mark Zuckerburg also had a birthday May 14th, and by the way, how old is he? In his 20s but maybe early 30s?

 Reflecting on our teen son Kaelan Alexander Palmer Paton's passing during the time of Passover, Lent, Easter, and April 1st as a meaningful day of reincarnation in the Tibetan worldview has been on my mind this past week.

Sadly, in the midst of all that, another young man died in the same river as my son, not far away, at about 2 am not long ago.  A young man, let's call him Robert for some anonymity,  also was out with friends, having what was supposed to be a good time.

 Somehow I landed on a trip to Washington DC where I joined 35-50K people for the Climate Change Rally on February 17th, 2013 with Bill McKibben from www.350.org leading the call for President Obama to Nix the Pipeline from Canada which would pollute and destroy much of our environment in the US (and even in Canada as we learned from some lovely Native People of that northern neighbor).

See the www.youtube.com coverage which can move one to tears as we realize 'we are on borrowed time' and we have a hYOUge (HUGE response-ability, but think of the HUG 50K gave each other on the Washington

I need to blog again so I don't get archived, so Happy Valentine's in a Friendly Universal Way  to One and All.

Got plans (for peace, gardens, growing in health and happiness, safer homes, relationships and towns, states and countries)? I used to do this at Vassar College--promote voicing ideas, hopes and asking for help, letting others know  what struggles are coming up and so on. Making  an informal poster to put  up around town (anonymously or however moves you and friends) can brighten up someone's day, maybe a lot of 'someones'.

Keep people in your heart, even yourself, as we journey
