I've had a little bit of a fresh start with my life after a recent illness. I wasn't at death's door or anything - but there was certainly a risk of me heading that way if I wasn't sorted quickly..

Since then, I've been a lot more forgiving about things in life - let a lot of things go - more to let go soon.

Life's really short, for all of us, and we must cherish the moments while we can.

Slow ebbs the silent day

Slow ebbs the silent day..
Loitering time
Squanders strengthened sinew,
Pillages precious memories,
Gold spilled carelessly.

Where now the sacred?
Where now hope and help?

Pray now while strength is strong!
Pray urgently, fervently,
That life ends whilst
Cherished sounds remain.
