I expect to pass through this world but once. Any good, therefore, that I can do or any kindness I can show to any fellow creature, let me do it now. Let me not defer or neglect it for I shall not pass this way again.
a friend reminds me of the above. looking it up, i find it is attributed to gandhi, emily dickinson, and a quaker missionary called grellet, which makes for a rather sneaky analogy. we discuss implications and logistics and alternatives at length and forget the good we set out to do.
carpe diem. iterum.
