I will have a sip from both I hope. Maybe mix in some gin, too.

I am not surprised to see you quoting from a Sufi poet (I wish I had the linguistic skills to read the original). But what a magnificent translation.
With such utter beauty in the world of thought how can we get our lives so very wrong.
But, indeed, time is a thing you do. Carpe Diem. Forget past mistake and abandon fear for the future. Live every day for itself. I really am trying to do just that these days.

Thank you Zeno for your kind words. I agree with everything you said. All we can do is move forward in life and do the best we can.
