Beyond His Experience

Well, I dug out the story that Joe found in that Chinese textbook.  I wrote it back in 1997, and the idea I was getting at is that no matter how hard we may try, we can't stay in the same place.  And I don't mean the same place physically.  I mean also staying in the same place in time, or the same place emotionally.  The saddest moment will pass.  But so will the happiest. 

The story is called "Beyond His Experience," and it starts with a quote by Marcel Proust:

In theory, one is aware that the earth revolves, but in practice one does not perceive it; the ground upon which one treads seems not to move, and one can live undisturbed. So it is with Time in one's life.

We do not receive wisdom, we have to discover it for ourselves by a voyage that no one can take for us,....a voyage that no one can spare us.

And then the very short story begins.
