The first time we get a true sense of our own mortality, or that of a loved ones, one of two things happen. Our mind is fogged with the finitely of life, while at the same time, we have crystal clarity of the things we must do to squeeze every iota of life in every moment that we have.
The question is which one should we focus on? The hazy mirage of what might be, or the the clear promise of living in the now. What would you do?
