Joi de vie
Joi de vie slips through my hands like grains of sand.
Life gets tough when everything is bland.
Modern society endurance contest.
No prize at the end, just the privilege of having a run.
We all have things that help us endure.
Venial pleasures to spiritual enlightenment.
Hang on to those treasures for they are something.
In a universe of nothing.
They're all you have until your dead.
Whether your name is Tom, Dick, Gwendolyn or Fred.

For some of us it didn't slip but it has mostly been brutally chipped small piece by small piece, apart from the all out invasive assaults that resulted in large pieces being broken away.
The consequence is PTSD that adds additional restraints on ability to attain joi de vie even in old formally loved pursuits.

Yup, we only go around once on this rock, and for many of us, much of it is filled with mostly suffering. So get all the gusto and joy you can, while you can..
