Life

"A glimpse at the face of your death can bring immense freedom to your life. It can make you aware of the urgency of the time you have been here. The waste of time is one of the greatest areas of loss in life. So many people are, as Patrick Kavanagh put it, 'preparing for life rather than living it.' You only get one chance. You have one journey through life; you cannot repeat even one moment or retrace one footstep. It seems that we are meant to inhabit and live everything that comes toward us."

John O'Donohue
