2 Ways

There are two ways to live your life; One as though nothing is a miracle, The other is as though everything is... My preference is the latter. History moves so fast, summer comes but once a winter; I can’t find tomorrow because I’ve lost today. Yesterday is a whisper; The wine is no longer room temperature. The tea is cold. The youth is no longer bold, I am told the rest has been sold.

—Mitch Cohen, Mutual 15
