Buying, saving, spending time

Life is not a dress rehearsal -- so I've heard.  At 67 I kind of believe it. We die.  Eeek!

Remember that saint who kept a human skull on his desk? The guy who always kept death in mind? Jerome? Really, I don't think they have shown us kids that Caravaggio picture. I prefer the sugar skulls a Mexican student once gave me.

Still, I'm getting careful about how I use my remaining seconds. Making art is near the top. It's like discovering what I was born to do. Which leads me to my rules about time:

Don't hurry.
Go slow.
Do less.
