This topic sparked thoughts about society still clinging to the outdat

Quotes by E.C. Stilson  (?)
Quotes are added by the Goodreads community and are not verified by Goodreads. (Learn more)

“I’m really living, but I wish I would’ve done more of this when I felt healthy and truly “up to the occasion.”

The least I can do is help other people avoid the same mistake I made: working too much instead of fully embracing each and every moment of life.”
E.C. Stilson, Two More Years

Robin Craig Clark Thanks for being a friend E.C.

I admire you living a life of compassion. Our true nature cannot be truly expressed in words. However, what we do, and more importantly, who we go about it, reveals the essence of our true self.

Best wishes,
Robin
