Getting ready for an hour-long Metro ride, I decided to bring the book I've been reading with me. As I was getting ready to leave, I realized that I had forgotten that book at work. I thought I could instead bring my Kindle since it had my book club's upcoming book on it, but I realized it had 2% battery. I settled for this book which had been on my shelf for a while. I'm only 11 pages in, but I'm glad I did.

"think about the things that you like to do, all the people you love and care about, and the desires you have as yet unfulfilled. There is not enough time in the world to do everything you want to do. You will die with goals unaccomplished, with words left unsaid, with love left unloved. As you ponder this, do you feel the moments begin to trickle by? Does time steal away your moments, bringing your death closer?"
