The Secret of a Full Life

The secret of a full life is to live and relate to others as if they might not be there tomorrow, as if you might not be there tomorrow. This feeling has become a rarity, and rarer every day now that we have reached a hastier and more superficial rhythm, now that we believe we are in touch with a greater amount of people. This is an illusion which might cheat us of being in touch deeply with the one breathing next to us.

Amen to that.

It also reminds me of this wonderful talk by Martin Prechtel, which is worth a listen -- the first part anyway.

Happy new year and blessings as always.
