Is a jewel in your hands.””

Had an epiphany today.

Life is long.

And short.

Almost simultaneously. I guess it makes the world more interesting.

“I doubt whether even our public edifices — our capitols, state-houses, court-houses, city-hall, and churches — ought to be built of such permanent materials as stone or brick. It were better that they should crumble to ruin once in twenty years, or thereabouts, as a hint to the people to examine into and reform the institutions they symbolize.”

Never enough

It means a strong desire to live
taking the form of a readiness to die.””

“I saw Eternity the other night,
Like a great ring of pure and endless light,
All calm as it was bright,
And round beneath it, Time, in hours, days, years,
Driven by the spheres
Like a vast shadow moved in which the world
And all her train were hurl’d.”

- Henry Vaughan
