Through the years, Kenny has been a musical inspiration to me and I just realised how we sometimes assume someone's gonna be there doing what we expect them to do always.
Last night, I read a passage in a book about doing something with one's life that will outlive them and thought, that's it! Not only does procreation extend us but the life created outlives us (in most cases). But also things written such as books and sheets of music do live beyond our days and that's what makes creating something so beautiful. If someone knocks on my door and asks what else apart from having children will mark my permanently-absent-desk one day, I will say, eer..., errr, I ah, said this and also.......aah, maybe see me next year and I'll have done something else to count for beyond a lifetime. The question is, will I be here next year, same time as today's? I have no clue but I can make plans and dream bigger today than I did last year. That is what makes me start singing someone else's song- Kenny's THROUGH THE YEARS and 50025600 minutes' song. Something's gotta count, I hope it is my life.
