The Field of Opportunity

Neil Young said, many years ago, "in the field of opportunity its ploughing time again".  When you're young (pardon the pun) you have it all before you and many oldfartsurfers are fans of Neil and we have benefited from what he sowed in that field.
Many years later, Paul Kelly, in his book "How to Make Gravy" laments the passing of time:
"When you're young you think everything's possible.  All of a sudden you're past the middle of your life, you've only done a fraction of the things you could have, and the field of possibility grows smaller every year"
 
There's always one more wave to catch.  RIP Reg, thanks for taking me to the beach when was a kid.
