-ire (I was looking for the rose petal, when I found him (Heraclitus) in shimmering lines:
Work Life
“ After enough years in the same town, the same building all day long, ploughing the same furrows and accumulating same on one's brow, one only with difficulty imagines that life could have been lived in a fundamentally different way. Alas, such casual thoughts inevitably crease one's brow even deeper, when the stock of years to come seems to evaporate, and the illusion that it's just a stage, a means to an end, tumble into the sobering realization that retirement is closer than commencement. It's true that, intellectually, one grasps easily in youth that perspective will change as one's age does, one even nods in agreement that one usually becomes more conservative (certainly more aware of how fragile and precious this thing consciousness is) as the years go by, but it's another matter entirely when that actually happens!!!” ( David Kessler)
