Opening line from an epiphany hymn by the Right Reverend Reginald Heber, Anglican bishop of Calcutta

Brightest and best of the sons of the morning
Dawn on our darkness and lend us Thine aid
 

Lip service

Einstein was right. Compound interest is the most powerful force in the world. What you have become is the price you paid to get what you used to want.

Que sera sera

The US is one of my favourite places to be in the world. Any part of US will do. But I have deigned to stay away for the last two years. I made my peace and restricted travel to most of Europe and the Pacific. But there's no shorting destiny or time. As fate decrees, I will head to the East coast of US again this month. New Jersey and York for 3 days. I will try to be meek and submissive this time.

Time - the most important piece

They say time heals all wounds. But not if your timepiece is a windup clock with a metronomic beat that has no hands and serves no purpose except to tell you your time is running out.

Back to the future

The totality of a man's days eventually becomes a circle rather than a sum, and one way or another, he always ends up at the place where he had begun.

In the mind

Sometimes in the very rare moments in the mind's eye you can see the past and the present and the future all at once; as though time is not sequential in nature but takes place without a beginning or an end, like a flash of green light ripping outward from the center of creation, and unlike a dream inside the mind of God.
