without talking and calculation.

And comes in meaning thousandfold,
comes at long last over everyone.”

“We shed as we pick up, like travellers who must carry everything in their arms, and what we let fall will be picked up by those behind. The procession is very long and life is very short. We die on the march. But there is nothing outside the march so nothing can be lost to it.”
― Tom Stoppard
