Some songs make you tap your toes, and some bring tears to your eyes. That's what being human is. We no longer live in that eternal present with which other creatures are blessed. We have eaten of the fruit of the Tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil and have been cast out of the Garden. Janus-faced, we now dwell in the lands of memory and anticipation.
Every day is a new day, promising hope and forgiveness and a chance to do better next time.
Dum vivimus, vivamus. While we live, let us live.
