Why one year different, Blabbs?
several reasons- some more trivial than others. if i was a year older i likely would not have been homeless due to a complicated chain of events involving an amuuurican gov't program that was cancelled before i could complete training for a CETA [Comprehensive Employment and Training Act] which would have had a job waiting for me. but ronnie raygun cancelled it. i would not have had to register for the draft as that started with people born the year i was born in. i likely would not have come within a mile of an army recruiter and lost 4 years of my life in the military. and if i did join the military after all, i would have been obligated to serve 2 fewer years of enlistment time. i was just born in the wrong year. these are the top reasons but there are prolly many others.
That's really sad! I hope your birth year happened for a benevolent reason, even if it doesn't seem so right now!

If you speak to the source, let me know what you're told. I'll do the same for you.

there are as many different heavens as there are spirits in this universe at least. multiply that by all the other universes [countless] and you have yourself a house with many mansions in it.
I know what mine will be.
