Now I see why we are called the human race. As we get older, we race faster to live life more fully. I’m racing to live life more today than I did ten or twenty years ago. And not necessarily anxiously; just more aware of the value of time as the hourglass runs out.
I feel sorry for the youth. They are still under the illusion they have a lifetime before them. I may have most of my lifetime behind me; but what lies ahead will be much better because I value more highly, the little that remains.
