Nothing is more precious than time. Because when it runs out that's it
Who is there today who still cares about a well-finished death? No one.

The further on we go, the more meaning there is, but the less articulable. You live your life and the older you get- the more specifically you harvest- the more precious becomes every ounce and spasm.

The less like a mathematics equation (a sum game); the more like music (significant secret).
