Let birds vex and the squirrels strive for immortality.


 

The trick is to take your eye off the ball - forget and enjoy yourself. When you realize - ultimately, life's a suicide mission. Do the flowers fret even as they bloom? Are swans gracefully worried? Ignore that small voice - enjoy life's pleasures, thrills, and delight in love.
