turning 39

the journal of Michael Werneburg

twenty-seven years and one million words

Tokyo, 2010.03.04

Long ago I wrote down my thoughts on turning thirty. It seems that I don't really have much to add on the subject of turning 39!

But I have noticed a fair bit of grey recently, and there are creases in my face where even six months ago there were none. Guess I've earned them honestly. The count-down to forty is down to a small number indeed.

When destiny comes to a man from outside, it lays him low, just as an arrow lays a deer low. When destiny comes to a man from within, from his innermost being, it makes him strong, it makes him into a god…
