Sum of a life is equal to = Mayfly?
I love the internet. I love the internet because it allows me to bump in the creative brainchild's'ren of the woman in the elevator, the sexy businessman who frequents Caribou, or the kid waiting for the bus --- all within a few keystrokes of one another (has anyone ever translated the idea of 7 degrees of separation to the internet? If not, I officially claim it as my own!).
Today I stumbled across the Mayfly Project. One completely random, tea-induced mis-click and BAM! "Describe the meaning of YOUR life, the past 365 days only, in 20 words or less?" is staring me down... at which point I promptly switched to winamp and changed the music so as not to think about the fact that there ARE no coincidences (classic winamp for all my fellow geekazoid compadres :).
The concept isn't entirely laughable - I quite suspect that seeing my relatives over the course of the next few days will result in their subtle cajoling to describe the meaning of life, universe, and the lost book of Enki in less than the time it takes for them to be utterly consumed by the sight of the cookie plate. What would you say that is, 20 words or less? I'm just getting warmed up!
And now, my humble entry:
"Libran belle loved, lost, & lusted. Creative zen en-tow, promise of tomorrow's, resolutions, love ad-infinitum, and musical interludes abound."

Mags - I know you told me in paraphrase your mayfly project entry on our walk home from work last night - but this is amazing! I am stunned to silence by it's beauty. Much like your life Mags, inspiring.
Smiles, Em
There's always the promise of tomorrow, sometimes focusing on the future sums up the past better than a description of the past can.
