For many years I have had a David Shepherd picture on the wall of the lounge in my home. It depicts farm workers urgently gathering the harvest while storm clouds gather overhead. It speaks to me of the urgent need to make a difference while there is time. We should seize the day. We should take every opportunity. Sometime is no-time.
The sands of time are running out for everyone and for me as a senior that is a particularly pressing point. I will not pass this way again therefore if there is any good I can d0 it should be done NOW. Life is good but it won't last for ever. That is not being morbid, just realistic. Edward Young said, 'All men think all men mortal but themselves' but for us all, young or old, eternity is only a heart-beat away.
