As for me,
Life is a voyage, and when it began my boat was clean, the wood was fresh and glided across the ocean like that "perfect skipping stone"

Over time, barnacles and other such nuisances has latched on and slowed it down.
However, Alot of that has helped the realization that life cannot be taken for granted, the excitement of events should only add to the joy and experience of life.

I cannot control the ocean, my sails, or the people that jump aboard, but I can steer my way through, and keep my command of my journey.

there's something in having the book you choose to read in the bathroom being the Tao Te Ching.

A wise choice i do believe, trying to pass a hot one while reading about passive action strikes me as humorous and intriguing.

as I write this a seven year old has just said to me;
"albie did you know I made Super master phoenix? he has 2 lightsabers that attach together, and when he becomes a phoenix he swings them without hands, because of the force. He is the ultimate and he can destroy anyone. even count dookie."

I love this child.
No, hes not mine.
he is my girlfriends and to him I'm " albie thats like a dad"
and that's fucking intense.
Hes wonderful, and my girlfriend well, that's a whole set of soppy poetry and smiling ill save for another day.
