you only live once...

... and life is short. so should one:

a) enjoy it all as much as possible?
b) do as many great/useful/good things as possible?

the lapsed-catholic, azerbajdzhani/belgian-bon-vivant, gypsy-festival-dancing-queen, mango/mint/vanilla/cardammom/citrus/tomato/fig-obsessed, moon-gazing/star-struck/sunshine-absorbing, tree-hugging, nonsensical-poem-writing and utterly-enamoured-with-every-breath-my-children-take part of me votes for A.

the hard-working/dedicated/ecologically-aware/feminist/serious/idealistically-enclined/ever-self-improving and slightly deranged calvinist in me votes for B.

the jury is still out.
