“Walter Whitman (/ˈhwɪtmən/; May 31, 1819 – March 26, 1892) was an American poet, essayist, and journalist. A humanist, he was a part of the transition between transcendentalism and realism, incorporating both views in his works. Whitman is among the most influential poets in the American canon, often called the father of free verse.” ~ Wikipedia

I think that's a good attitude, Eddie!

Like we motorcycle riders say "ride like it is your last ride, because you never know it might be."

More succinct, but not as eloquent.

Or, more succinctly:
uncertainty(future) ≤ uncertainty(present)

Ah, the beauty of mathematics!

@McClock what a beautiful poem. Thanks for sharing it with us.

Ron, I m duly gobsmacked and agree with Lyricist. Bravo! Well done!

Lyricist

McClock, that is beautiful! "time is the distance between" there's so much in that line.

Bill, as a callow youth I wrote many poems. The only one I can remember is after my first love wasn't! Hope ,Time, Love, Life.

Hope is all I cling to, If hope is lost, then so are you, forever.
Time is the distance between us, if time is too short can it wait for you and I?
Love is all I have to give, if love is so sacred, must we forever live apart?
Life is all that's left, if hope is gone, if time is too short, if love is lost, but what us life if you are gone?

Aah..... the angst of youth!

Bill_I_Am

I agree, and you're most welcome, stunned.

Wonderful quote by a certainly enlightened man who gave us so much to ponder. Thanks for this post.

LOL 🤣

I'm not sure about this--but I'll know more tomorrow.

One day at a time, Nancy.

Lyricist

I'm sure I've posted this before but this is one of my favourites: - "Hours can be centuries, just as words can be lies" Spock, Star Trek, 1970 something. DOH!

Bill_I_Am

It just makes sense.
