"Over the last few days, I have been able to see my life
as from a great altitude,
as a sort of landscape, and
with a deepening sense of the
connection
of all its parts.
This does not mean I am finished with life.On the contrary,
I feel intensely alive, and
I want and hope in the time that remains
to deepen my friendships,
to say farewell to those I love,
to write more,
to travel if I have the strength,
to achieve new levels of understanding
and insight." Oliver Sacks, NYT editorial, 2/19/2015
Life presents opportunity -
to live, to learn.
The world is ever-changing.
Finding opportunity in a changing world
is an individual matter.
The degree of living and
learning
we wish to experience or enjoy
lies largely
within ourselves.
