A Warm Welcome

To see the details of life and not be satisfied with a glance

To inhale the fragrance of youth and not be content with a sniff

To listen to the wisdom of experience and not just hear its whisper

To palpate the pulse of friendship and not just sense its existence

To savor the flavor of love and not be filled with just a taste

That, my friend, is to live deliberately.
