About the questionable gift of knowing we are mortal~~~

I am here on this revolving blue planet for an undetermined
amount of time…
the day, hour, minute of my demise,
has not been disclosed,
at least not to me.
I will someday die, that is the reality of living.
Birth — — Death, is an inevitable fact of existence.
With that knowledge, I wish to make my one and only life
on this earth a meaningful one…
meaningful to me, meaningful to the ones I love and cherish,
and, if I really do it right,
meaningful to the world at large.
One life, one path(with maybe some detours along the way),
with strong, bold steps…
that’s how I want to do it.
With a strong and loving heart, with conviction of my beliefs,
and with a voice that is emboldened.

When my time arrives, I hope I have met my goal.
If I have, I will be smiling down on all of you
with a sense of gratitude and well wishes.
Until then, no time to waste!
