For years I buy my tofu from a small shop downtown owned by a lady slightly my senior. For a couple of months now there's another lady keeping the shop. Yesterday she told me that the woman running the business before her had died - without any warning, without being ill or anything. Just like that - one day she was alive, the next day she was no longer. "And you know, that lady that passed away - she had dreams, she had plans..."

Don't we all? And, of course, we all think our dreams are significant and of importance. Silly petty apes aren't we? 

I wonder what regrets she had.
