THE   DIE   IS   CAST
			Today, I have to celebrate a special anniversary. Let me outline a squiggle for that. For this is always preying in my mind - and for such a long time ... Once life brought me a special prezzie, unfortunately I didn't recognize the poor changeling ! But the fatal damage had been done. If you could always understand what life gives, and from the outset, you would never be caught in the crossfire. But life gets sometimes so mysterious ways to teach you, murky path in the highland forest for the squire's hike, or gusty sunny beach for  the knight errant, take your pick ! May I intercede with life for them ?
		Life is constantly teaching you, even if you don't always understand. And you can't carry out reprisal against life ! You can go through fire and water for someone, life ungratefully will make you as dead as a dodo... You can see a glimmer of hope when you feel in dire straits, life will dim the light all around ... You can joust with shadows or with the nether world, thereupon life suddenly brings on a plate the missing key ... Life is a game, but as soon as you've accepted to play, the die is cast ...
