Remembering Fyodor

“If you spend half your time
trying to change human nature
You’ll spend the other half
 being disappointed”

If you spend half your time
waiting for someone to love
You’ll spend the other half
waiting to die

If you spend half your time
questioning the truth in the answers
You’ll spend the other half
missing the point

If you spend half your time
following the tracks of another
You’ll spend the other half
— wondering why

Thanks Jan, the first stanza is a quote from Dostoevsky.
