I'm reading this cute little book.( Thanks Blanche )
Too soon old Too late smart .
Gordon Livingstone.
Chapter 10 extract:
"... this is the final and controlling paradox:
Only by embracing our mortality can we be happy in the time we have.
The intensity of our connections to those we love is a function of our knowledge
that everything and everyone is evanescent.
Our ability to experience any pleasure requires either a healthy denial
or courageous acceptance of the weight of time
and the prospect of ultimate defeat."
beautiful!
