ReplyDeleteSome very good cliches in this write, my friend. However, I still believe we deserve credit for choice as well as will power. No we don't do it alone, but action and work was and is required.

ReplyDeleteEach day is a celebration of this eternity, which we have compressed into earthly 'time' marked by hours and days.

'Simple' can always be seen as 'not' by me, who complicate every
single action or behavior...
e.g., "to be"
DULCE:
