"A final day awaits us all. We may know in advance when our end is near, through declining health, a terminal illness, old age. Or we may have only a few seconds’ notice, or none at all.

When the executioner raises his scythe, how many of us may want to say, ‘Wait! Just another moment, please! Let me take one more sweet breath! Give me one more sight, sound, touch of my beloved! Wait, please! Just one more moment!’

Now is the time to see, listen, to touch—bring our best to life while we have the life for it. How much we have, no one can say. Life itself is a near-death experience."

               Dan Millman, in "Everyday Enlightenment"
