“In three words I can sum up everything I’ve learned about life: it goes on.” — Robert Frost
You must think for hours, days, or years, to arrive at pithy sayings that can capture the attention of a thoughtless public.
Snapshots do not require thought. To capture a frame of life which says more than a philosopher, is the goal of every photographer.
“To live is the rarest thing in the world. Most people exist, that is all.” — Oscar Wilde
A life unlived is a tragedy unsung. Bitter from end to end.
What can be said about the reasoning of young men who think they can stand on the end of a trailer on a highway in San Antonio, Texas?
Perhaps, “Do not go where the path may lead, go instead where there is no path and leave a trail.” — Ralph Waldo Emerson

“Life is what happens when you’re busy making other plans.” — John Lennon
Life has captions. An entire lifetime can be summed by a simple saying. An adventure can be summed by a sudden stop. The ebb and flow of thrust and pause creates the rhythm upon which the melodies of life are sung.
We each choose our own way to ride. In the end, we all fall off.
“Live long and prosper” Spock
