In it, Dromgoole tells the story of an old man who approaches a deep and wide water-filled chasm. He crosses in the evening as he is unafraid, then builds a bridge to span the tide. A fellow pilgrim questions why an old man would build the bridge, as he would surely never pass this way again in his lifetime.

One of the best WhatsApp messages I received!! "The Secret of Life" by Santiago Veros Lyrics by Matthew Silver Lyrics: Enjoy, enjoy a little more. Live in the moment. Don't get old. Don't judge people. Because you can't be free if you judge people. To live and to live in a mystery and to find purpose and to live in the now. the magic is now! Enjoy, enjoy a little more Live in the moment. you can't get away from your heart. because life is a paradox, It is a mirror of confusion So love now! I Love all of you.  less
