Ars longa, vita brevis, occasio praeceps, experimentum periculosum, iudicium difficile. In this commonly found Latin translation, the first two statements have been switched from the Greek original. The full text is often rendered in English as: [The] art is long, life is short, opportunity fleeting, experiment dangerous, judgment difficult.

I heard .... my heart.

It was a beautiful weather day here in NEPA. Andy was away the whole week befor and the adjustment is difficult. I am alone as the parent and adjust by Tuesday. I handle the week without too many problems and almost enjoy it. By the night I am usually totally whipped and sleep like a baby. Jack wa a good boy this week so all is well. The adjustment comes when Andy comes back. I am happy to see him but then readjustment occurs. Yesterday morning i just needed time alone. I need to "debrief" so to speak. I took the camera and went to my favorite place to just chill, the cemetery. I walked around the lovely grounds and "visited" with some of my favorites. I know some people grew up visiting cemeteries, so they arent anything new. I did not. They were always a place to drive past and not think about too much. The Forty Fort cemetery is historical as well as beautiful. Peaceful. I did something I thought only crazies did. I laid down over a grave. Just laid there...
