mortality

You have to wait much longer these nights before you can see the light in the sky. And there is less and less of the rich silver that showered upon us at the peak of the month, just a few days ago. It puts a person in mind of that wisest of ancient sayings, "All things must pass." Perseverance in hard times depends on this solid truth. So do moderation and justice when life grows lush. Ephemerality underlies morality.
