"I don't know whether or not we will meet again. I could, with an effort, look into the future, but the time is too short. I'd like you to know this: separation contains as much of a mystery as a meeting. In both cases a door opens. In meeting, it opens on the future, in separation on the past. It is the same door."
-Elie Wiesel

I wish, I wish I could remember this all my life and draw strength from it when I have to. There's something about these indefinite Openings which we all clutch onto, because we can't deal with the finality of closing.
Finality. Exactly.
Sometimes I am astounded by the sheer number of our problems that we would eliminate, if only we knew when to give up.
