To live every day as if it had been stolen from death, that is how I would like to live. To feel the joy of life, as Eve felt the joy of life. To separate oneself from the burden, the angst, the anguish that we all encounter every day. To say I am alive, I am wonderful, I am. I am. That is something to aspire to. When I am a person, that is how I will live my life.
Garth Stein
This really is the zenith of living in the moment. Eve only achieves this spiritual state when she accepts that she will die soon. How do we translate that to our daily lives? It's a challenge, as Enzo tells us. It takes mental, physical, and spiritual preparation. It CAN be achieved, but not accidentally. It must be achieved with great deliberation.
