When Thou, my Expectation, art not near,
Each moment is an age of grief and fear;
But while I may behold and hear Thee, all
My days are glad, and Life’s a Festival! 

(Abu’l-Ḥusayn al-Nûrî )
Just as time is a play before God, so was the outward life of the (first) man a play before the  inward and holy life which was the true image of God.
(Boehme)
All the world’s a stage,
And all the men and women merely players.
(Shakespeare ; As You Like It, II. VII. 139) 
Remember that you are an actor in a play, and the Playwright chooses the manner of it Your business is to act the character that is given you and act it well; the choice of the cast is Another’s.
(Epictetus)
