“There is a moment, a cusp, when the sum of gathered experience is worn down by the details of living. We are never so wise as we are when we live in this moment.”
Morning Sun Trail, Marin Headlands
Last week I finished reading the book "When Breath Becomes Air." It's one of those books that I knew I wanted to buy- just so I could freely underline Paul Kalanithi's poetic and lyrical style of writing and have it at my fingertips for the moments when that dulled sense of perspective comes over my life. To remind me again of how keeping our own mortality/death in the forefront helps us live more consciously and purposefully.
It changed me. And I think it will change you too.
