Watching UP! today reminded me of a story in Ray Bradbury’s Dandelion Wine. Mr. Fredrickson meets Mrs. Bentley:

You can only be what you are here and now.

Where is my comfort zone? A simple place to call my own
‘Cause everything I wanna be Comes crashing down on me
And it don‘t show up in the pavement cracks
I can‘t even recognise my tracks
You and I can‘t turn the whole thing back
Ooh I wish you well
