The Log Ride at Centre Island, Toronto.  Taken yesterday.

It pains me to see summer slipping away.  But it pains me more to think that this may have been the last year the kids will want to go to this place.  They’re getting bigger, and the rides are looking smaller.

Time marches on.

“You will, Judas, my brother. God will give you the strength, as much as you lack, because it is necessary—it is necessary for me to be killed and for you to betray me. We two must save the world. Help me.”

Judas bowed his head. After a moment he asked, “If you had to betray your master, would you do it?”

Jesus reflected for a long time. Finally he said, “No, I’m afraid I wouldn’t be able to. That is why God pitied me and gave me the easier task: to be crucified.”

― Nikos Kazantzakis, The Last Temptation of Christ.
