vanity of vanities

Like children playing by the ocean who build sand-towers with constancy and then destroy them with laughter.

But while you build your sand-towers the ocean brings more sand to the shore,

And when you destroy them, the ocean laughs with you.

Verily the ocean laughs always with the innocent.

Khalil Gibran - The Prophet on Crime and Punishment

Sometimes I forget to smell when I breathe. I try and make it a habit to smell thinks when I walk around especially as soon as I remember that I forget to.

Sometimes I forget to taste my food when I eat. I've been doing it more often now that I've been eating more fruit. I love fruit.

I rarely see people pray before they eat on the mess decks, but when I do, I admire them.
