"Yes, time flies. But I don't want to stop it. I want to climb on its back and soak up every inch of the scenery. I want to drink in the laughter, the tears, the blue skies, and the torrential rains that this world has to offer. For when the cosmic clock is finally grounded, I will climb off its back, grateful for the wild and wonderful (full-of-wonder) ride. Don't miss one bit of the ride due to fear or regret. For the day is coming when the tarnish of time will be removed from us all. And underneath will be revealed the beauty, the creativity, the wonder, the whimsy, and the perfected love that was imprinted on our souls from the very foundations of the universe."
