From Elizabeth Kubler Ross- the all time greatest living expert on death and dying writes When was the last time you really looked at the sea? Or smelled the morning? Touched a babys hair? Really tasted and enjoyed food? Walked barefoot in grass? Looked deeply at the blue sky? These are all just experiences that for all we know, we might NOT get again tomorrow. it is always an eye opening moment to hear the dying say they just want ONE more day to see the stars, gaze at the ocean, tell someone how much they love them. Many of us live near the ocean but never take the time to go there. We all live under the stars, but do we look under the sky. Do we really touch and taste life, see and feel what is extraordinary in the ordinary? There is a saying, every time a baby is born, God has decided that the world will still continue. In the same way, every day you wake up, you have been given another day of life. You do not get another life like this one, You will never again play this role and experience this life as its been given to you. You will never again experience the world as is in this life, in this set of circumstances in quite this way with your parents, your children, your families. You will never again have quite this set of friends again. You will never experience the earth with all its wonders in this time again. Take a lesson from the dying....
