For a long time it seemed to me that
life was about to begin - real life.
But there was always some obstacle
in the way, something to be gotten
through first, some unfinished business,
time still to be served, a debt to be paid.
At last it dawned on me that
these obstacles were my life.
This perspective has helped me to see
there is no way to happiness.
Happiness is the way. So treasure
every moment you have and
remember that time waits for no one.
