29220

If you are lucky enough to live to 80, you live 29220 days.

Each day is like walking through a grand palace. You wonder it all day, hallway by hallway and room by room. Of course, you walk the inner courtyards, verandas, and strolling gardens. There will be kitchens, closets, dressing rooms, bathing spaces, stairwells, store rooms, sacred spaces, reading rooms, auditoriums, portrait rooms, ball rooms, and armories. Many will have stables, blacksmithing spaces, carriage houses, and support staff housing, dining halls, etc.

When the day is over that palace is done. What did you see? What did you learn?

Did you take notes? Did you leave letters for future guests? Did you read the info on the palace/museum walls?

Will your visit be remembered? Will you ever remember that palace and will it remember you?

Could you visit them all for naught? Should you visit them all for better?

Did you take a note? Paint a picture? Write a poem? Compose a story for a room? Stage yourself in a costume and steal a moment in time?

To ride an elevator across the universe and see it all and record or change it none seems …numb.

Even stars leave a light for the future to see.

Be a bright light to the future. :)
