“The time has come,” the Walrus said,
“To talk of many things:”*
And talk is all we do;
No wonder we don’t change a thing!
The fear of time and time of fear
Strings us along a string.
The time is now, and now’s the time
To act upon the scene!
*Lewis Carroll, Through the Looking-Glass and What Alice Found There, 1872

Ha, great use of Lewis Carroll… of course talking is easy compared to doing.

“The fear of time and time of fear” — an excellent line!
Well done 🙂 Sometimes we all want to jump down a rabbit hole, right?

The Lewis Carroll line was excellent, so was yours: “The fear of time and time of fear
Strings us along a string.” Very good!

Love how you’ve included Leiws Carroll’s line in this as well 🙂 It’s so true though. All we tend to do is talk more rather than actually doing something.
