2013 Running with the Torch

The generations of living things pass in a short time, and like runners hand on the torch of life. 

Lucretius

I never particularly considered myself to be a torch bearer, but rather a runner behind another who bears a noble torch. If I am to lead, let me be remembered as one holding high a torch representing all that nature brings to the soul. And let me prepare my sons and grandsons to take it from me when the time is right.
