Love this piece. “Do not act as if you were going to live ten thousand years. Death hangs over you. While you live, while it is in your power, be good.”

Thank you, Amy for this zen reminder. Every still moment is a gift, a gentle reminder to breathe, be mindful, and cherish the simplicity of now. Doing my best to practice quiet moments:)

As always, good reminders to enjoy the quiet time. Maybe even relish it. Not to avoid, but to embrace.

You are the best, in how you weave the thought.
