While I was in the class of 1964; I knew many classmates from 1961 thru 1965....perhaps this from Tich Nhat Hanh will have some meaning.
Peace will come, it was promised to us from God.
Peace to his family and friends.
I am of the nature to grow old.
There is no way to escape growing old.
I am of the nature to have ill health.
There is no way to escape ill health.
I am of the nature to die.
There is no way to escape death.
All that is dear to me and everyone I love
are the nature to change.
There is no way to escape
being separated from them.
My actions are my only true belongings.
I cannot escape the consequences of my actions.
My actions are the ground upon which I stand.
Thich Nhat Hanh
