“Because we don't know when we will die, we get to think of life as an inexhaustible well. Yet everything happens a certain number of times, and a very small number, really…How many more times will you watch the full moon rise? Perhaps twenty. And yet it all seems limitless.”
Paul Bowles

Fantastic ! Made me pause and ponder ! Thank you for sharing
Oh I know, I've felt this way for such a long time. It's a good thing though, being on the side of so many things to discover and so little time is far better than not having any desires right!
Treasure the snow, too!

This reminds me of A E Housman's poem about the cherry tree "since to look at things in bloom/ fifty springs is little room..."
