I am in the last half of my life now, not the front half. My death will come sooner than I like, and so now is the time when I want to embrace the parts of my life and the parts of the world that I’ve missed. I can only hope that it’s not too late, because I deserve the full range of human experience and so do you. My heart, in these past few days, has been full of love for humanity. The only difference now is that I am including myself in the process.
