A MEDITATION

“ Hang on to your youthful enthusiasms — you'll be able to use them better when you're older.

— Seneca

The curiosity, the hope, the ridiculous earnestness — don't trade them in for 'mature' cynicism. Hold on to the fire; use it later with the skill you didn't have yet. Cold pragmatism alone is a dim way to spend a second half.
