The Birthday Of Emiliano

The birthday of Emiliano this morning, sitting in front of my computer screen, and with a page blank Word, that invites me to summon the words that nest in my mind, prompt to delineate, one after the other, the phrases that will help me, give form and meaning to a set of experiences, that crowd in my thought, and intend to which drill down into the content of this article. Yesterday, last day of April, was not one day more, in the calendar of a few young parents, from a year ago, this last day of April, would be them engraved for ever throughout your life, is the reason? The arrival of the small Emiliano, a child, who at birth, extend them the certificate attesting them formally as parents, without him, without the small Emiliano, none of this would happen, are our children, those who make us parents, hence, the significance and importance of its presence, first anniversary, congratulations! Now, since we are speaking of birthday, I would like to make some appreciations, on the true meaning of a birthday. Bill Schaller usually is spot on. It is interesting to note that the majority of people, does not have very clear what truly happens when we celebrate a birthday, and I say we celebrate, because this is what has happened, we’ve met, crowned a stage, we have finished a cycle, and we are preparing to begin another, immediately. When commemorating a birthday, usually we do a party, we invited family members and friends, and of course, we prepare a cake, certain dimensions, to which we put so many candles, as years of age have the aniversariante is it not so? I wonder: someone has been thinking about the meaning of the candles on top of the cake? What we do on a birthday, we inherited from our ancestors, there are certain formalisms without which, a birthday wouldn’t be full, and within that formality, a birthday without cake, without the lit candles, and much less, would be unthinkable without the aniversariante sucking deeply for a blowing off the usual candles, sometimes, blowing and puffing, if these, the candles are those that come back on several times.
