Saturday Memory

November 22, 2025

No recall of a specific memory, but as I was trying to recall, I fell into

a deep reverie on the number 87. I will be 87 on Thanksgiving. It will

be the last year of my third Saturn return, so a critical point

in time. I thought of “Four score and seven.” I thought of songs I

remember, e.g., David Bowie’s “87 and Cry.”  87 is the sum of the

squares of the first four prime numbers. Lots of miscellaneous

memories.  What struck me the most was the feeling of completing

a cycle. I couldn’t help but connect this with Origine, the “mentor

of my completeness.” I find myself joking about 87 candles on the

turkey or the cake.
