Time isn't any more important than size. All that is required of you is to be in the Now, in this moment which has been given us.

If we knew each morning that there was going to be another morning, and on and on and on, we'd tend not to notice the sunrise, or hear the birds, or the waves rolling into shore. We'd tend not to treasure our time with the people we love. Simply the awareness that our mortal lives had a beginning and will have an end enhances the quality of our living.

There may be no single thing that can teach us more about life than death.

Life is short and we have scarcely begun to live when we are called to die.
