surplus............................

56.  Take it that you have died today, and your life's story is ended; and henceforth regard what further time may be given you as an uncovenanted surplus, and live it out in harmony with nature.

57.  Love nothing but that which comes to you woven in the pattern of your destiny.  For what could more aptly fit your needs?

-Marcus Aurelius,  Meditations, from Book Seven
