Players on Life’s Stage

All the world’s just a stage,
Where we strut, fret, and age.
Men and women appear,
Play their roles year by year,
Then exit — life turns the page.

By Paul Baldry (LongJohn)

Reflections on Life

Self‑Discovery and Identity — “What Was and What Will Be”

“I spent my youth chasing the future.
Now I sit with coffee and watch—
others run toward theirs.”

“The young chase tomorrow with urgency; the old watch it arrive —
with patience.”

By Paul Baldry (LongJohn)
