DETAILS

The Roman poet Virgil wrote, "Sed fugit interea fugit irreparabile tempus, singula dum capti circumvectamur amore."

("But meanwhile it flees: time flees irretrievably, while we wander around, prisoners of our love of detail.")

Someone once told the ole ranch hand that all that matters is the bottom line.

Not how ya got there or how "purty" it might have been"....and don't sweat the details.

Oh yeah, the most important advice.....it's all "details".

Reckon it took awhile for such wisdom to sink into a formidably thick skull, but the ole fat boy is actually starting to kinda get it these days looking back on the totality of personal existence.

A lot of it was rocky, more of it dang sure wasn't purty....but hell if I didn't wind up at the twilight of my existence in a good place, with a good woman, in a world that is comfortable, secure, and a pleasure to wake up to each morn!

“Blessed is the man who finds wisdom, the man who gains understanding..... (Proverbs 3:13)
