Life, Love and the Pursuit of... well, you know.

Just as the roller coaster has a slow ascent and a race car driver modifies tactics to take a turn on the track, so I feel that in our pursuit of happiness in this life it is helpful and even beneficial to slow down in various circumstances. Life cannot nor should not be eaten all in one bite or swallowed in one single gulp. Who can determine complexity of flavor, revel and linger in the sensual experience if we hastily grab and devour what is in one's way?

Let us pursue methodicaly, deliberately that which we seek to experience in order that every nuance might be revealed and admired. So when we are old it is not forgotten. So we do not become the tramping bull in the china shop, shattering the delicate things in our environment.

'How is it possible' he thinks, 'to miss a woman that he kept at a distance, so that when she was gone, he would not miss her.'

Only then, does he realize that wanting part of her and not all of her had hurt them both and how he cannot justify his actions, except to say that it was... well, it was Life."
