What is it about celebrating birthdays? I will be 60 in just about two and half months, and that is a celebration in itself in these days. I was never really a party person for I do not like being the center of attention a lot of the time. Birthdays are a time to celebrate your life and whatever you wish to convey to others, and if it is a party your family and friends want to give you accept it for this is the gift of LOVE of them.

About the Creator
Mark Graham
I am a person who really likes to read and write and to share what I learned with all my education. My page will mainly be book reviews and critiques of old and new books that I have read and will read. There will also be other bits, too.

A Quill Pen
Who has ever written with a quill pen before? I have and it is an experience having to go back and forth to dip the nib (a nib is the portion of the pen that holds the ink) into a little jar of ink or as they did a very long time ago in inkwells on a desk, but you probably know that. The tips are very sharp but I believe everyone will know that fact. Some quill pens are stiff and others can be flowy with the breeze when it blows. Just think about it for a second or a few minutes.

Standing While Falling
Quotation from Friedrich Nietzsche "He who wrestles long with monsters should beware lest he himself become a monster. And if you gaze long into an abyss, the abyss also gazes into you. Man is not destroyed by suffering, but by the meaning he makes of it."

Center Stage with Paul Stewart
*** I'm keen to republish the interviews I did for my series with Vocal creators. It's been a few years and I thought it might be nice to revisit these wonderful conversations. I'll be releasing them one at a time for a few weeks/months.
