Why Do We Think What We Say And Do Are So Important?

Life does not move in a linear time sequence.

We try to put life in boxes. We label them "past", "present" and future.

We spend so much time trying to understand life that we have no time to live it.

You were nine years old when I met you, Yarrow. 

You had an impact on my life that has stayed with me ever since.

Thirty years later, I wonder where you are.

It's not what you said or did. You touched me so deeply by being you.

Why do we think that what we say and do are so important?
