One of the Dangers of Being Human...

I find that the more I worry about and plan for the future, the less I am able to enjoy the moment. And then, I often find myself under too much pressure from myself when the time comes to fulfill the plans I made. Of course, if I did the opposite, and didn't plan enough, and lived completely in the moment, the results would be disastrous. I guess it's just one of the hazards of being human. And so I plunge bravely on in this adventure, hoping for the best, planning for the worst, and learning from my mistakes. And trying, trying to live as well as one can. God help me.

Now I know why you call yourself a sage. Very profound, very true. :-)

Thanks. Yes, I don't have profound moments very often, but when I do they are pretty good.
