When you are young it all stretches out before you.
Death is a shadow, and even when it comes close, you can always say,"it's not me."
When you are old it all stretches out behind you.
Death is your companion, you take daily walks together and admire the shadows of life.
Yesterday,when I was a shadow I never thought about regret.
Today I am preparing for the ultimate boon, the transcendence that still eludes me.
I want to leap over grief, leap over pain, leap over regret, prepare for the uncertain future by the apotheosis of the present.
