Föbsi Jones and the Purpose of Light

Aletheia 010713.


The world is spinning so much faster. I'm getting old. We all are.
No - wait. I didn't mean to sound just as weary of life as I usually do. This is my 23rd summer and I should live up to it. Which I actually do! In these rough times, I enjoy life about as much as I did in my childhood. It's just so very different from what I used to know, and I think my understanding of things will change continuously as I keep growing older. There won't be another 23rd summer for me, nor one that feels about the same. That is kind of tragic and amazing at the same time... and terrifying as well. You can't turn back time. I won't be this young ever again. Sooner or later, I will die. Just not deliberately, at the age of 24, as I planned to about six or seven years ago. Death will have to come get me itself, and from now on, until that moment, I shall live life to the fullest.
Seize the day!
