"Human life... you are so fleeting, shifting, dangerous, brief and uncertain... dissolved like a shadow, a mirage, a cloud, a nothingness, or anemptiness. Mortal life is but a way, a shadow ... like a dream we musttravel through so anxiously, so carefully, so hastily, that all those withunderstanding should press on, like wayfarers, to their true homeland,untroubled at what has been and concerned as to what is to come..."

~Excerpt from Irish Roman Catholic Saint Columbanus' Sermon Five
