Today is John Paul’s 28th birthday. When this blog began he was 13. Now he’s nearly five years married with a family of his own. When I was 28, I was still single and several years into my graduate studies.
It was the year 1991.
Here is a poem-of-sorts that I wrote a few months short of turning 28. It has a visual component, as I am comparing myself to ten years earlier (1981). It’s not a very deep reflection, but it’s based on a sense of how we change as we grow older. At this age, after a decade of “adult experiences,” we have a stretch of life we can “look back” upon.
