How we spend our days
is of course how we spend our lives
Annie Dillard
Lately, I have been more aware of how I spend the gift of time
I have less patience with the trivial and the contrived
Those meaningless projects whose only purpose is self-perpetuation.
As I plod through the inconsequential
trying to reach that which truly matters
I quote Alice to myself-
frequently:
frequently:
Alice: But I don't want to go among mad people.
The Cat: Oh, you can't help that. We're all mad here. I'm mad. You're mad.
Alice: How do you know I'm mad?
The Cat: You must be. Or you wouldn't have come here.
The Cat: Oh, you can't help that. We're all mad here. I'm mad. You're mad.
Alice: How do you know I'm mad?
The Cat: You must be. Or you wouldn't have come here.
That is a real possibility
and that's poetiquejustis
Teach us to number our days, that we may gain a heart of wisdom.
Psalm 90:12
