Dear Friend, Go Easy


Life, lovely while it lasts, is soon over
Life as we know it, precious and beautiful, ends
The body is put back in the same ground it came from
The spirit returns to God, who first breathed it.

It's all smoke, nothing but smoke.

But regarding anything beyond this, dear friend, go easy. There's no end to the publishing of books, and constant study wears you out so you're no good for anything else. The last and final word is this:

Fear God.
Do what he tells you.

- from Ecclesiastes 12, The Message
