“I was once told that anyone can talk for an hour, it is the wise person who can talk for five minutes. Don’t we have enough noise in our lives without the hours of conversation that are more filler than insight? Of course, there is nothing like a good story and we all have those to share. I guess my personal wish would be that everyone has that chance to share theirs. As I close the chapter on this segment of life and look forward to finding the right syllables to share my ongoing journey, I would like to leave you with a few favorites of mine. Until our paths cross again, I wish you great joy in moments that are shared within ‘17’ syllables.”
