An Untimely Demise


The untimely passing of Luke Perry at 52, was a gentle reminder of the fragility of life. It reminded me of my buddy Alan, who also died young. Alan delayed doing the things he wanted, to never getting to ever do them. Such is life. And death. 

We have to teach ourselves to live in the now. We tend to get ahead of ourselves and  plot and plan for the future, and we forget to live in the present. There are no do-overs with this thing called life. It’s now, or never.
