more somber thoughts

a little girl i know is winging to a new life studying away from home. she is between J1's and J2's age and has grown up with them. i suddenly want to tell them all, as they perch on the cusp of excitement discovery and independence:

1. see, do, be. time can be short.
2. but life longer, and perspectives change. move on.
3. strive to be righteous. God forgives.
perhaps the last most of all, not as insurance but assurance, for when their way has become long enough for them to be acquainted with remorse.
