A lifetime is a moment
a heartbeat,
or if you're lucky — a few.
Live every blade of grass
Soar with your wings while
you still can fly.
Taste every fleeting second
Bloom towards the infinite sky.
Terri Guillemets, "Lifebloom," 2011
The shortness of our lives, whether truncated by critical illness or not, sometimes robs us of today. While we are busy worrying about the end of our life, to come at some uncertain point in the future, we miss opportunities for joy in the present. Living Wide is about filling every day with meaningful experiences that swell our hearts. That make us laugh. That make us love and feel loved.
Live every blade of grass. Soar while you can still fly. Taste every fleeting second. In the face of the profound uncertainty that we all share, its the only strategy that makes any sense.
