Time Will Not Delay.


I yearn to learn what I do not live, knowing it will never all be known. 

I flee to see what I have not, knowing it will never all be seen. 

I keel to feel what experience brings; knowing it will never all be felt.

I race to taste what culture cooks; knowing it will never all be tasted. 

I splurge to urge what life bestows; knowing it will never all be seized.

I love to learn. Everything I experience is another opportunity to sharpen my skills or begin working on a new one. I am now beginning my Graduate Degree Program, but only because this is where my life had led me for now. I can't imagine how much more is out there for me to see in the world, but I'd like to find out.
