So here I sit. a sum of the parts. about a third way down this wonderful path, so to speak. And I've been thinking lately about a friendship that fell apart with time, with distance, and with the misunderstanding of youth. I'm trying not to confuse sadness with regret. Not the easiest thing at times. I don't regret that certain things happened. I understand that perhaps I had a choice in the matter, or perhaps I believe in fate.

He has achieved success who has lived well, laughed often, and loved much; Who has enjoyed the trust of pure women, the respect of intelligent men and the love of little children; Who has filled his niche and accomplished his task; Who has never lacked appreciation of Earth's beauty or failed to express it; Who has always looked for the best in others and given them the best he had; Whose life was an inspiration.

Zhuangzi told this story to his disciples to make a point: Once a zookeeper said to his monkeys: "You'll get 3 bananas in the Morning and 4 in the afternoon." All monkeys are upset. "OK. How about 4 bananas in Morning and 3 in the afternoon?" Hearing this, the monkeys are content. One should realize that sometimes a change in phrasing does not represent a real change.
