The Starkest Reminder
As a cancer patient with a terminal diagnosis, I’d be thrilled if my perception of time sloooowed waaay down so that I can hitch a ride on the present moment more often.
While floating along in the gentle embrace of the present moment, my five senses get continuously replenished with the joyful sensations of physical life.
