It doesn't take a lot of strength to hang on, it takes a lot of strength to let go.

Lines on a Clock in Chester Cathedral

When as a child, I laughed and wept,
Time crept.

When as a youth, I dreamt and talked,
Time walked.

When I became a full-grown man,
Time ran.

When older still I daily grew,
Time flew.

Soon I shall find on travelling on-
Time gone.

O Christ, wilt Thou have saved me then?
Amen.

Henry Twells (1823-1900)

Be who you are and say what you feel because those who mind don't matter and those who matter don't mind.

Yep. To a teenager you're old and to an octogenarian, you're young.

Conventional wisdom says to know your limits. To know your limits you need to find them first. Finding your limits generally means getting in over your head and hoping that you live long enough to benefit from the experience, that's the fun part.

Watched "Papillon" a day ago and i always liked what the commandant, or warden says.

"Make the best of what we offer you and will suffer less than you deserve."

And, i never, ever forget what Papillon says to Dega. I have made it part of my ethic.

"Me, they can kill. You, they own!"
