Here now in the twilight yearsPreparing to be a survivor
To then claim my sword
As it was told to me
During that flight
During that accelerated learning
I recall the instructor
'mourn not the past
for how can you feel sorrow
for something which cannot exist'
'worry not about the future
for that too isn't real'
'accept thus the present
for it is all that you imagine
be fearless
else it will pass you by
and your chance will be lost
again'
