Whether the world will end in fire or ice matters little. Life is not about the end, it is about embracing the beauty of present moments and conditions you find yourself in, framed by the experience of the past, with a certain future that is sure to come. Like the juxtaposed beauty of glacial ice washed up on a volcanic black beach, the past and the future are of little matter to me, and the real beauty is how you are in the here and now.
