- To have enjoyed the sun,
To have lived light in the spring,
To have loved, to have thought, to have done;
To have advanced true friends,
And beat down baffling foes?”

“Yes, there is a Nirvana;
it is in leading your sheep to a green pasture,
and in putting your child to sleep,
and in writing the last line of your poem.”

- It’s nearly Christmas again. The years go by so quickly, a new year starts and, before we know it, it’s over and we’re welcoming in another year. These are the poignant and beautiful words from the “Rubaiyat” of Omar Khayyam (translation by Edward Fitzgerald) about the passing of time:
“The Bird of Time
has but a little way
To fly – and Lo! the Bird
is on the Wing.”
