]]>Life is linearhttp://wrytoast.squarespace.com/on-life/2006/1/22/life-is-linear.htmlWryter2006-01-23T02:57:57Z2006-01-23T02:57:57Z“I've always had a feeling that life is more linear than cyclical. In other words, outside of birthdays and significant holidays, I don't give as much credence as I once did to a time calculating system based on 365 days every three years, 366 every four years, and all that mumbo jumbo. Y2K was a yawner. Once the first year after our Annus Horribilis was over, it really changed for me. So look ahead, my sister. Keep memories, cherish them, and take them along, but NEVER take the chance on missing the richness of life that always lies ahead... just around the corner."
Me.
[To my sister around the second annniversary of our Mother's death.]
