"i wish i know a bit better how to plan and execute my life."
I am 46. I still tell myself (rather foolishly) how I am going to be this better man by moving from A to J or doing this or that. It would actually work if we could see our future, I think. We could then plan and "execute" like we were born not of mothers but of gods. But alas that is not to be. As we are, all efforts are to be commended. All failures to be eulogized. Along the way we have failed plenty, and disappointed many. But here we are, standing still, variously damaged but unbroken, hoping but also learning to contain our hopes, weak often but believing still in our own strength. We are a noble race. A species of dreamers. Desiring love, accolade, painlessness, a bit more life, is that so bad, is that so stupid of us for daring to reach out, to reach forth, to reach within? Have a good 2008, Jane. My best wishes.
