Tomorrow is my birthday - 18 June. I was born in 1976, two days after the 'Soweto Uprising.' For better reflections on that see Wessel's and especially Rock in the Grass' blogs. I've always thought of the day / time / era in which I was born as significant.
I like the title of Paul Simon's song, born at the right time. I believe that I was born at the right time to be me. The individual that I am - apparently my name, Angus, has something to do with being unique.
I am grateful that I was born when I was born. I thank those people who 'rose up' to make this land the land that it is today. I hope and pray that I will be able to rise up as courageously as they have to continue to make this world better for all people (in my own small way).
Whenever it is, I believe we were all born (somehow) at the right time.

Hey Gus
Happy Birthday!
Thanks for your comment. Hope you had a good one.
Hello my brother
I know that you told us all about your birthday so that we could wish you. I think that this is a wonderful thing to do. Otherwise we would not know when to wish you. And we would probably never wish you. So: HAPPY BIRTHDAY.
