because we didn't think

"Because we didnt know when we will die,
we get to think of life as an inexhaustable wealth.
Yet everything happens only a certain number of times, and a very small number really.

How many more times will you remember a certain afternoon of your childhood,
some afternoon thats so deeply a part of your being that you cant even concieve of your life without it?

Perhaps 4 or 5 times more. Perhaps not even that.
How many nore times will you watch the full moon rise.


Perhaps 20

AND YET IT ALL SEEMS LIMITLESS"

-Paul Bowles
