Balance sheet

18200 days of work
2600 weeks of work
7 sentences of wages
10000 meaningless meetings
250 echo chambers;
1 million stories
99900 untold
5000 pageants of wonders
2 wander inside a mind
2 beat back the mundane
2 survive on fantasies;
100 deaths close to hand
1000 broken hearts
2 broken knees
2 hobble and limit;
3 million hopes
2 million fears
7000 cries in the wilderness
6000 answers
3000 of them echoes.
This is the balance sheet.
This is the sum of a life.
—PJ Thompson
