In the Seventies, women runners, developing amenorrhea and calcium-related shin splints, were the first to realize that nature is hovering over us, ready to shut down our systems if our fetus-feeding fat reserve drops below a certain percentage of body weight.

Though dead he be, it belongs to he;
So hand the old bnone over! — J. R. R. Tolkien
They adored each other; but still the permanent and the immutable subsist. We may love and laugh, pout, clasp hands, smile, and exchange endearments, but that does not affect eternity.

That we still worship the sages of the three ancient kingdoms is because their compassion reaches us yet today. — Sayings
