everything we do
might be the last time we'll ever do it ....

our own lives become far deeper experiencially
and have far more meaning
than before.

In that way
I found a way
to move forward
in the depth of turmoil
and of grief

because I can look on these many many people
who have tried and failed
to work things out
or to even continue living their lives...
as teachers of that simple truth.

Everything we do
we could bwe doing it for the last time.
Everything we say
we could be saying it for the last time
every hello
and every good bye
(and every chocolate)
could be that last one.

I want to make *my* 'last thing'

... mean something.

Hokka-hey.
Today may be my last.
