Blood is thicker than water

Blood is thicker than water, they say. Meaning that the family you share through your bloodline is tighter & more important than your friends & soul mates will ever be.

Now, 2/3 of my closest family (my sister & my mother) have simply forgotten my 50th birthday, while the people I consider to be my friends didn’t.

My mother’s excuse was that her husband is dying of cancer & she’s got a lot on her mind, & my sister wanted to phone me, but forgot to do so, because she thought I wasn’t there & would only reach my voice mail.

On the other hand, my friend Barry Hay, the lead singer of Golden Earring (‘Radar Love’) called me at 00:05 when he got off stage, while the crowd was shouting “We want more!”, some of the people on the Avalon Forum had already send me their love & best wishes & later on I was hugged & kissed by lots of friends at a party I was invited to, by somebody I hadn’t seen in quite some years, but whose life would have looked very different if I didn’t tell him a long time ago, he should always make sure his house was ‘clean’ before leaving or going to sleep. (He told me that he was in India this year, & he was reminded of my words after a party at his house. Just before he fell asleep he got up & stashed the hash left on his dinner table. That morning the police raided his house. “My birthday is your birthday; let’s celebrate!” was the message he left on my voicemail. And so I did.)

From 00:05 ‘till 23:59 I had a great time. Although my mother & sister reminded me of the lonesomeness I’ve experienced since I’ve been born (my father, someone I’m having a pretty difficult relationship with, picked up his phone & dialled my number, but didn’t say anything worthwhile), my dearest friends & soul mates gave me all the love I could wish for.

So when blood is thicker than water, nothing will keep me from leaving this planet, when I die. And if not, I hope there’s water on other planets. Tonight I mentioned this to my friend Barry, & he felt exactly the same. And he’s not the only one. A lot of my friends would rather not reincarnate on earth, but leave into the unknown of the universe, if they could choose. Mainly because they’re totally fed up with the manifestation of the human spirit through the last couple of thousand ages.

And if above is as below, what’s the bleeding point of (eternal) life anyway?
