"...We all die, some sooner rather than later. We are all just a breath away from it, all the time.

Don't fear being near death - but rather fear, dread, loathe, and do all you can to do avoid near-life experiences. No one goes to the grave or to the nursing home wringing their hands and gnashing their teeth and just wishing they'd served on a few more committees, worked a few more hours. Too often we are waiting until we (and then later, our children) finish school, waiting until the mortgage is paid off, waiting until we lose weight, waiting until we retire. We are always, as we say in the South, just 'fixing to.' After this thing or that one happens, then we will travel, write, play, rest, visit friends, then we will live. And, lo and behold, before any of that stuff can happen, it is over, and we never got around to living.

No more near-life experiences, please. Whatever it is you are going to do someday, well someday is here. Have at it. I am here to tell you, it is  way better to live your dream than it is to dream it."
