Something to chew on....

Sometimes we see the past so clearly, and read the legend of its parts with such acuity, that every stich of time reveals its purpose, and a kind of message is enfolded in it. Nothing in any life, no matter how well or poorly lived, is wiser than failure or clearer than sorrow. And in this tiny precious wisdom that they give give to us, even those dread and hated enemies, suffering and failure, have their reasons and their right to be.
