We all go about doing what we think is best, what’s the most important, what will get us ahead. That’s not always true; external forces come along and change things in a fleeting moment, and what was once normal is no longer. All we can do is adapt, and adapt we shall.
These sentiments evoke one of my all-time favourite songs by Pink Floyd—Eclipse:
All that you touch and all that you see
Roger Waters
All that you taste, all you feel
And all that you love and all that you hate
All you distrust, all you save
And all that you give and all that you deal
And all that you buy, beg, borrow, or steal
And all you create and all you destroy
And all that you do and all that you say
And all that you eat and everyone you meet (Everyone you meet)
And all that you slight and everyone you fight
And all that is now and all that is gone
And all that’s to come and everything under the sun is in tune
But the sun is eclipsed by the moon
