My brother Richie was very much into Zen phiosophy. He asked me what the sound of one hand clapping was. I told them there was none...it took two hands to clap...as in it takes both the yin and yang to make a whole. One dosen't exist without the other. It takes both to BE.

Many years ago, when I was on the road as a photographer, while shooting a church directory I met a woman who was 90. Being that she was in quite good health, I presumed for her age, and very cognizant, I had remarked something along the lines of having to come back when she was 100.

She had politely remarked that she had hoped not. She had lived a long life, long enough, and had commented that she was tired. Any day was fine with her.
