Learning

I really never expected to be learning so much in the later part of my life. I suppose most people feel that way: most of the stuff they know was accumulated early on, like money, and then they sit back and live off the interest.

Well, it's not working out that way for a lot of us: not with respect to learning and not with respect to the metaphor of money. It just isn't working out that way.

I think I have learned more in the past few years than I ever did before. I have learned important things about the human condition and religion and hope and despair.
I sometimes think it is as if I were a Camel and I approach the fountain of Wisdom: it is best to drink a good amount because I think I will be on a long desert journey soon.
I shall not be alone on that journey.
Drink up.
